... oh Boy. And still sort of a hot potato issue some 30+ years later. Im fine with it, provided its voluntary & not legislated, that at the amateur levels mixed gender leagues be created then fine. Then again on the other hand, it is unfair to girls who are more than capable of playing elite against boys and deserve the opportunity to do so. Its like a no win argument.... why you bring it up C58?

Start of a transition period that eventually led to a very strong Canadian Women's hockey program this at the forefront of growing women's hockey world wide.
