Meet Team Trans: All-transgender hockey team
Team Trans is a hockey team made entirely of transgender and gender non-conforming athletes from both Canada and the United States. Team Trans is believed to be the first ice hockey team comprised entirely of transgender men, transgender women and gender non-conforming athletes.
The goals are big for an all-transgender hockey team known as Team Trans.
Comprised of more than a dozen players from Canada and the United States, it’s believed to be the first ice hockey team made entirely of transgender men, transgender women, and gender non-conforming athletes.
Honorary co-captain Harrison Browne says hitting the ice for the first time with the squad earlier this month was “life-changing,” and he hopes it can be an inspiration to athletes of all stripes who may struggle to find a safe space to be themselves.
“A lot of kids feel like they don’t have a place in sport because sport in the past and in history has been so binary — it’s always broken into men’s and women’s sides,” says the Oakville, Ont.-born Browne, whose professional career included championship wins with the female Metropolitan Riveters and the Buffalo Beauts in the U.S.
