The school board reversed the decision and confirmed that girls can play on the boys hockey team again. This victory belongs to everyone who spoke up to demand fair play for these athletes. Check the school website for the official policy update and keep an eye on the tryout schedule.

In Wayland Massachusetts a new rule has been put in place saying that girls are no longer allowed to play on the boys middle school Ice hockey team. In the previous years girls have always been allowed to play. Recently a new girls team has started for the middle school age group and the female players are being denied the oppritunity to play for boys even if they have in the previous years. The girls are being told the reasoning behind the decision is because girls are taking up boys spots, but shouldn't the spots be given to the better player? If a girl is better than a boy she deserves the spot not him. Help these girls get their rightfully earned spots back

The school board is refusing to answer my emails regarding the new roster policy. Post this link on your Facebook page today to keep the pressure on them. We need to force a public explanation for why these girls are being sidelined.

I have played on the boys middle school team as a girl, and let me just say that the girls were probably better than a good amount of the boys. They said that this actually supporting Title IX but really these teams are separate but unequal, the girls team is worse. Why should girls who are better than the boys have to play on a worse team? It makes no sense.
I defitintly think that girls can play on the middle school team. It's not a boys team, it's a middle school team -Max Brande
I used to play hockey for a really lon time and I've always played on a boys team GIVE GIRLS BACK THIER SPOTS
I think this is stupid because of there are no cuts them y would u just stop letting girls be on the boys hockey team? That's sexist
I think this is wrong they have the right. So what if the girls get hurt its their desicion to play or not.
This is a stupid rule, girls can play with the boys and should be able too!!!
Hope you get to your goal!
