PLEASE KEEP THE GIRLS ON THE ICE!

The Saskachewan Hockey Association has made an unfortunate decision to ban out of town female hockey players from playing in larger centres where “All Girl” teams are available.

They are essentially forcing many girls to quit hockey!

Older girls would be forced to play on boys’ contact hockey teams, dress in a separate change room and be isolated from their teammates.

Parents who are willing to pay their fees are dedicated team members and are willing to drive their children to a larger centre. They should have the choice to do so.

This is a backwards step for female hockey and is very disappointing to parents, coaches and above all, players. Unfortunately many girls will no longer have a place to play hockey. They are losing out on the incredible benefits of sport.
