I'm Allison Era. My passion is HOCKEY. I play ice hockey and inline hockey. Born and raised in Arizona, I'm a member of the 2011 Team USA Women's World Inline Hockey Team.

I am in my sophmore year of college hockey playing in the ECAC West for the SUNY Platsburgh Cardinals Women's Ice Hockey team. We finsished 2nd in our division. I played 19U girl's ice hockey for the LA Selects Girls Ice Hockey club in Southern California. Our LA Selects Girls team was usually the Pacific District team at USA Hockey Nationals. I also played 2 years of girls ice hockey with the AZ Selects, captaining the 14U team.

Before heading off to college I played minor hockey with the AIHL Phoenix Dragons . I played my youth/women's inline hockey with Team Excalibur Hockey out of the Castle Sports Club in Phoenix, Arizona.

I have skated Nationally since the age of 8 and added playing Nationally with the girls at age of 12. I have played Women's Inline Hockey for Team Excalibur since the age of 14 in such events as NARCH, AAU, and USARS.

To see hockey photos from all of the ice and inline hockey tournaments that my teams have played in you need to check out the Photos (hockey photo gallery page) or my dad's az-hockey.com (all of the older hockey photos)!

One of my goals was to play women's ice hockey at a significant NCAA hockey college. I was recruited by a few Ivy Leagues, DI and DIII colleges.

I have reached my goal and play women's ice hockey for the State University of New York Plattsburgh Cardinals (ranked 4th in the DIII nation)

I have links to the NCAA and several NCAA hockey colleges. I have included the links to their women's NCAA ice hockey site and to their home NCAA academic/school college site.

I have videos of my Hockey experiecnes and of my family and friends. I remember the good times we had.

My crazy dad (Coach Greg) has taken a ton of hockey action photos from the hockey tournaments that my teams or me and my friends have played in.

I have many hockey tournament Photos galleries from Team USA Inline, the LA Selects Girls Ice hockey, the Phoenix Dragons AIHL teams (coming soon), and Team Excalibur Inline Hockey (both youth and women).

You could find some action shots that make you say 'WOW' or an action shot of you or a player you know! Check out the hockey tournament Photos galleries. Contact me if you need a full size pic.

You can also check out hockey photo galleries at my dad's hockey site: az-hockey.com

I created the Hot Girl Sites page with links to the websites or bios of well-known female athletes.

These are some of the female athletes who inspired me to create my own website. Read their bios and see how they impacted their sport. See how far women have come in the athletic world.

"We've come a long way baby!"

I love Quotes. They inspire and motivate me. Reading one a day can sometimes give you that push that everyone needs!

Check out my Links to sites of interest whether it be hockey or other entertaining places.

I was the Editor-In-Chief for my high school newspaper, skated Women's Roller Derby in exhibition bouts, and I have dabbled in Lacrosse and Soccer. I love to listen to Music and I Read quite a bit. And now I'm creating websites!

I have Traveled all over the USA and even to Europe and Canada for hockey tournaments and competitions. My Travels will 'pin point' you to all of the exciting places hockey has taken me.
