Calgary Creates it's first "Rep" teams ...
- At the Junior Level, this team was "double-carded", meaning its' players were a combination of players who participated all season on a houseleague ("B") level team. They got together once a week, if possible, and practised as a "rep" team.
- At the Belle level, there were no houseleague teams to draw from, so this team was formed basically from anyone who was Belle age, and interested in playing on a rep team.
- These teams were referred to as "A" teams - there was no such thing as "AA"

Calgary's
first Belle Rep Team experienced a short, but far from unsuccessful
season. In January of 1981 these eleven girls got together, with
the help of John Morcom and Don Henderson, and travelled to Lacombe
to play two games. Considering these girls were introduced to
each other in the dressing room, they made a good showing.
- They participated
in the Leduc tournament, and lost the final by only one goal
in the Spruce Grove Tournament.
- They also travelled
to the Provincials, held in Lacombe, and although they lost
out, it was an excellent experience as most of the girls had
never been involved in Provincial Playdowns.
- Their final venture
of the year was to the "Sherwood Park Select A" Tournament,
where they played top teams from across Western Canada.
