Two sisters who were given a rough ride by the coach and association while trying to play on "boys' " teams in Brampton 10 years ago have finally been awarded settlements - #12,000 for one, $4,000 for the other and $2,000 for their mom, who lost her volunteer position with the association when she spoke up for girls.
Unfortunately, Brampton minor hockey did not have the diplomacy to comment for the Toronto Star story. They should have seized the opportunity to explain how far gender equity has come in minor hockey.
