Lots of chatter these days about the decision by the provincial organization responsible for school sports to prevent girls - those chosen to Canadian National Junior hockey teams (i.e. Under-18) - from playing for their high school.
Hmm.
They say “parity” is important.
OK.
But if that’s the case, then why isn’t the same organization - the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations - doing the same for other school sports?
I won’t mention the word hypocrisy.
Some high schools have a handful of National Junior players on their basketball team. No problem. Others have National players on their rugby school team. I guess that’s OK too. And OFSAA didn’t say anything about runners, who are on school teams - and also competing at international events.
This is high school sports. Female hockey players are role models for others. Apparently, some folks at OFSAA don’t think so.
