Coaches must now take training courses so they can be compassionate to and understand players who insist on wearing dresses during games.
Ontario Hockey announced Wednesday that it is launching a new trans-inclusive training program for team officials.
The program is aiming to create a more informed and well-versed team that will help teach discrimination based on gender identity and understanding gender expression.
Officials for amateur minor and junior hockey for the Canada-based teams are required to complete two courses on the topic — Understanding Discrimination based on Gender Identity and Gender Expression and A Guide to the Dressing Room Policy and Confidentiality Statement
