Transgender hockey policies launch in Ontario!
Hockey Canada’s Ontario members committed to educate its more than 30,000 coaches and trainers by 2017 on transgender inclusiveness.
The new policy states that “players who identify as trans can use the dressing room corresponding to their gender identity, be addressed by their preferred name and pronoun, and have the privacy and confidentiality of their transgender status respected.”
Hockey Canada’s Ontario branches agreed to change its policies after Jesse Thompson, a transgendered teenage boy from Oshawa, Ont., filed a human rights complaint in Ontario against Hockey Canada in 2013.
