The following update was relayed to us by our governing body Alliance Hockey, originally released by the Ontario Hockey Federation:
OHF Dressing Room Policy – Final Amendment
At this time, the Ontario Hockey Federation will NOT be
moving forward with the new Hockey Canada Dressing Room Policy announced last
week.
The OHF, along with Hockey Northwestern Ontario (HNO) and
Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) will maintain the existing Dressing Room Policy
from the 2016 Ontario Human Rights Mediation.
Should a future transition be made by the OHF to the Hockey
Canada Policy, the requirements will be addressed between the two policies with
adequate notice to be announced ensuring all changes are made with due
diligence.
As previously reported, the OHF is providing Education Sessions on Gender Inclusion in Hockey including a presentation on the OHF Dressing Room
Policy for all MHA's over the next few weeks.

Important Note: new concepts and practices require an open mind, time, a
willingness to ask questions, and patience. It is not about being perfect but
being respectful.
