We weren’t aware of this, but apparently this past weekend was the Team Trans Draft Tournament in Middleton, Wisconsin, where transgender and nonbinary hockey players had a chance to show off their skills. Thanks to the NHL for bringing this historic event to our attention:
The NHL is proud to support this past weekend's Team Trans Draft Tournament in Middleton, Wisconsin. This was the first tournament comprised entirely of transgender and nonbinary players, with around 80 folks participating! #HockeyIsForEveryone #NHLPride pic.twitter.com/OfEoAVXtH5

Did anyone say that hockey isn’t for everyone? As far as we know, men and women have both been playing hockey for a while now. What’s the NHL getting at, exactly? Ohhhhhhhh:
So, men playing on womans team?

That’s where this is ultimately going, yes.
And now that you’ve pointed that out, be prepared to get educated by the NHL:
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary identity is real.

Well, folks, you heard ’em. Guess that settles that.

You mean because the NBA stupidly decided to get woke?

The NHL’s tweet is what sports experts like to call an own goal.
The NHL should definitely let a biological woman line up against Alexander Ovechkin and see how that theory works out for them https://t.co/MgSgaQvFKW

Talk about a spectacle.

This is offensive to everyone who believes in science. Really stupid for the NHL to wade into this. https://t.co/jiiZKII5VS

Seriously. What the puck, NHL?
Stop erasing women. https://t.co/HmCDqlzvTK

Erase women, erase your legitimacy.
