Feminism              Created by The Tyler Lawry

Feminism in hockey does exact and does play a huge role in the way the game is played. In girls hockey, Women are not allowed to body check which is the most important part of the game in mens hockey. The people who make the rules say it is to help protect women because their bodies are more "fragile". 

Many girls who play the game today wish they had the same rules as the men because they know how important to the game it is. 

A girl from Iowa in a newspaper wrote "I wish we could check just as the guys can. I want to show people that us girls are tough and we can handle that part of the game and shouldn't be discriminated on just because of their gender."

Referees also tend to call on average 2 times as many penalties for a girls game as opposed to a mens game.
