I am in Winnipeg. The ruling from an independent arbitrator was to apply only to this situation of High School Boys Hockey. Although she stated this in her ruling Manitoba High School Athletic Association has received several calls from boys wanting to try out for girls teams. IMO, I believe this ruling was one for feminism and it was not one against discrimination. When you see all the facts and reasons for denying the Pasternaks tryouts, it is obvious the school was trying to protect them (from injury and/or humiliation) and their girls program.

Update ... The 2 girls were cut from the boys try-outs. They state they will not play for the schools girls team.
