In the early 1940s, in what was known then as the Sports Center Ice Rink at North and Calvert streets, it was the all-girls’  Spitfires against the all-girls Glamor girls—in no-holds, rough and tumble ice hockey. The girls ice hockey teams never got to play against any of the boys’ ice hockey teams. The boys, many observers felt, were lucky.
