Girls in a mens world are oil and water. Not from a human rights POV,but as a gender war.Exclusive men's clubs have proven throughout history that if they don't want girls in, then it's "gloves off." Freemasons,submarines,you name it, girls are taboo. What does the human rights commision think hockey players will do to women who step out on the ice? Lets just hope that nobody ends up in a wheelchair or worse.
Human rights commision? Maybe they need to send the female members out to play hockey.......

There is also another issue for males that I can see being problematic. There are males that are brought up being told, rightly so, to never raise a hand to a woman. What male with this value engrained in their moral fiber, is going to bodycheck a woman into the boards? Would he treat her differently? Wouldn't this issue impede the team's performance?
I've always been for equality. I also think males should have their own icetime, vice versa.

What if this were applied to high school wrestling? Can you imagine watching that? Honestly, have we all gone mad? When did we lose our ability to make common sense decisions?

I have to agree that there are different leagues for a reason. I see no reason why a girl should be allowed on a boys hockey team or visa-versa. Sorry girls, but we are not built the same as boys. If you want to play against the guys, play against them in a sport that does have a mixed league. There are only two girls that I know of that have made it up to the NHL level, and neither of them played a game at that level. Woman have also tried to play golf against the men, and that didn't go as they thought it would either. Woman do not have the same physical make up of men and shouldn't be competeing with them in physical sports, for safety reasons if nothing else.

I witnessed the results of two such decisions while I attended high school in Kenora about 12 years ago. One was a girl who fought to have a tryout for the boys hockey team, the other was a female who fough to have a tryout for the boys football team. In each case the prospective player made the cut (by skill??) and also in each case the girl was injured in the first game played. One concussion and one broken collar bone.

Lets just say for argument, that not two, but forty girls were good enough to play in the boys league, would this acceptable? I think not. Theres a reason why its called a BOYS LEAGUE folks. If the girls are that gifted they should play in a girls league where the level of compitition and gender matches there own, this may require them to move to play in a larger centre, as boys are required to do if they want to further there own hockey careers.

It was a boy's team the girls tried out for, not a girl's team. Girls have infiltrated the Boy Scouts, as a result, the organization is now called Scouts Canada. When will all this nonsense end?
Should men try out for the Women's Olympic Team? I think not! There are women's teams, men's teams and mixed teams, isn't this enough?

Look at it this way, this is Canada. Sooner or later a supreme court panel will say that each Canadian NHL team has to have women players. The rest of the league would not have to. That would end NHL hockey as we know it. However a womans professional hockey league, I am all for it.

Boys have biological advantage over girls. If an Peewee AA is good enough we let them play Bantam (Gretzky did) so if a girl is good enough to make the boy's team, why not. If makes the boy's team better since she knocked out a lesser skilled boy.
But we don't let bantams play peewee, so boys shouldn't play in girls leagues.
