Description

Guest: Amy Laski, founder of the Tween Girls Hockey League The city’s policy for allocating recreational permits for sports facilities favours tradition. Long-term permit holders get renewed year after year. That’s great for building up those leagues, but leaves any newcomers, including those trying to serve girls and others who feel left out of the existing sports culture, scrambling to try to find a way in. Hockey mom and league founder Amy Laski outlines her struggle to get the city to accommodate her league and fix the policies that led to it. This episode was produced by Sean Pattendon, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston and Edward Keenan.
