How are the modern women and traditional women differentiated?
Modern women have more opportunities and possibilities in this day in age because they have fought for it. traditionally, men were the ones who brought in the money, worked hard at work to take care of their families at home, and provide for themselves. Women were the ones who kept the house tidy, took care of the children and cooked for the family. Now, women and men work together and both bring back money to do all the things men would do in the past. Although things aren't exactly as equal, women have more freedom and power than their mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers did in the past

What is the distance from the goal line to the end board behind the net on Olympic size ice surface?
It can be either 11 feet or 4 meters. The 2010 Olympics were played on an NHL standard/North American rink...200' x 85'...and thus the IIHF decided to play the tournament with the goal line at 11 feet per NHL standards. When the Olympics were in Italy in 2006, the tournament was played on International size surfaces (approx 200 x 98)...thus the goal line was at 4 meters (13.1 feet) from the end boards.
