From the Local Hockey Rink to the Olympic Stage: How the Trump Administration’s Attacks on Trans Athletes Harm Us All

In the local area, ice hockey is gaining attention with the Professional Women's Hockey League growing and breaking records. The 2026 Winter Olympics are also underway, featuring top players, including a historic first for the US Olympic hockey team. The sport has become a political issue for some, particularly transgender athletes. The Trump administration has taken steps to exclude transgender girls and women from participating in girls' and women's sports. Further details on the impact of these actions on local athletes are available from the National Women's Law Center, which has spoken out against the Trump administration's policies on transgender athletes in sports.
