* In ''Film/GoFigure'', there is a strong rivalry between Buckston Academy's [[GirlPosse figure skating club]] (Girly) and girl's [[FriendlyJock ice hockey team]] (Tomboy). The "twirl girl" figure skaters are more traditionally feminine, like wearing pretty outfits and makeup, and are all about being graceful and elegant when they skate. Meanwhile the hockey players are more physical, less concerned with their appearance and aggressive on the ice. However although the hockey players are rough around the edges, they're shown to be nicer than the figure skaters because they are a team and have to work together while the skaters are constantly competing against each other and are passive-aggressive and catty.
