The Mn Hockey board is meeting this weekend and location and agenda is on their web site.
The peewee checking is being discussed on Saturday.

Minnesota has enough girls playing youth hockey. A cultural shift that saw travel coaches cut all girls that try out would eliminate your concerns.
Nice clean illegal solution just itching for a lawsuit.

Yep, typical girls hockey parent thinking. Harrison Bergeron would have been proud of what girls hockey parents are doing to the sport.

Nothing illegal about it. Sue away. Coach: I routinely cut players to get down from the 45 registered to form a team with 12 skaters. Association: We provide B teams and girls teams for those that don't make the A team. Everyone that wants to play is allowed.

I think infusing girls into the boy's peewee teams would be sad for the bubble kids-like the B2 boys who are trying to get to the B1 level. You know that political correctness will put down roots and make sure there are at least a couple of girls on the B2 boy's team and that means boys that should be playing at the B2 level will end up on a C team and maybe quit hockey.

Or will they allow them on the girl's team if they want to? I mean a big, fast, hard shooting boy should make the top girls team I would think? I'm sure there would be no hard feelings from the girls parents who get cut when a clearly superior talent is put on their A team even though he's a boy right? I mean the girls parents have a monopoly on "fair thinking" I'm sure since they are such victims.

You want to be careful about exposing your association to litigation. Look at the mess d6 put themselves in not thinking things through. What's really smart is planning to do something that is potentially illegal and then posting about it on a forum.

Why would you want to join the Bobby Riggs club and not welcome a player that is skilled enough to be on the team?

Another question to be asked is (for those that want/endorse girls playing with boys) why even have a girls program or a boys program then?
Just call it the hockey program and anyone can play/try out. Don't we have girls hockey for girls and boys for boys....what exactly is the problem with that?
