– A B.C. mother is demanding that her 14-year-old daughter be allowed to change in the same locker room as the boys on her co-ed hockey team, and has taken the issue to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

Minor hockey league policy is B.C. dictates that there be separate dressing room for boy and girls once they turn 11.

But Jane Emlyn and her daughter Jewel, who live in the north Okanagan community of Lumby, says that's discrimination.

"It's their right to be in the change room. It's not a privilege, And I feel that if they can play hockey then they should be exposed to all the opportunities that minor hockey players have," says Jane Emlyn.

Jewel plays defence for the Lumby Stars. The team is co-ed, but most of the players are teenage boys.

She is only allowed in the male change room 15 minutes before game time. She says she feels like a "second-class player" because of that restriction.

"People shouldn't be making a big deal whether they're changing in a different dressing room, changing in the same dressing room. We should all just be able to play hockey and have fun, you know in the same dressing room, right?"

The Emlyns say the solution is shared change rooms with a dress code. And that when it comes time to shower, they say the minority gender would have to leave the room.

Is she hot? <-----Had to be said.

She should stay in her own locker room.

Can you imagine the problem that would happen if that happened.

Where is written that you have this right? The Constitution? Didn't think so. Why don't these people realize society has these kind of rules for their own good? If they were allowed to change in the same room, when the boys harassed the hell out of the girl, this b!tch would file a sexual harassment suit on behalf of her daughter in a heartbeat.

The Emlyns say the solution is shared change rooms with a dress code. And that when it comes time to shower, they say the minority gender would have to leave the room.

Either that or the solution is separate dressing rooms. Which one is simpler?

Girl on the right. Anyways Shes a Canuck. of course shes hot....anyways this is just a bad idea waiting to happen.

If I was on the team I'd say let her in. Hazing time.

Actually, nevermind, she is only 14.

[Porter]

LOL MF......I rest my case.

[ghettochild]

i'm sixteen.. i can say it.


i'd hit it.

[General]

Well...

[awefullspellare]

I'll pass. That said, it probably is unfair that she can't be in the room with the guys becuase I'm sure that can hurt chemistry and maybe hearing less things from the coaches, but she shouldn't be allowed to be in there.

As I mentioned earlier perhaps the coaches are taking to the players in the locker room more however the girls don't get that because they are in the seperate room. Also the chemistry thing, spending time with the team.

she shouldnt be allowed in obviously. its asking for a lawsuit. she should only be allowed in when the coach is ready to address the team before the game.

I would imagine that a mother would want her daughter to change in a sparate room. I am sure that the coach will tell her all the stuff he told the rest of the team before the game, so she won't be lost on the ice.
