Good for you to show up here. Even better that you haven't been completely trashing her, kind of shows class from your side that you weren't shown yourself.

Also, what's the most intense game of magic you've played? Finals in one of the big tournaments? For me it was when I had to face Olle Råde (not sure you know who it is) in a Booster Draft quarter finals, and at the time (mid or late 90's), he was a big name. I got lucky as he pulled like two lands total before I wiped him out. It was only intense because I knew he was a well-known player, really... I bragged to my friends that I had managed to beat Mr. Råde, and promply got owned in the semis and third place round.

Yeah, a town of 4,000 people in Canada probably has roughly 6,000 hockey players.

My son's a 7-year old mite and played in a fairly large tournament this weekend. With the difference in size and ability, I can see why they wait a bit. There were a couple of 8-year olds he played against that were more than twice as big (that is, we're talking 100+ lbs vs 40ish lbs) as some of the 6-year olds on my son's team.

On the other hand, the transition from non-hitting to hitting if you're small and a poor skater, can be insanely tough. Having hitting earlier means you'll never skate with your head down and you'll likely work far more on your skating.
