Boston Hosts First Transgender Hockey Team

Tikonoff responded in order to help the team accomplish their mission.

“We have a few trans members, but not enough to make an entire team, so we started to reach out — to other cities we play with in national tournaments — San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Canada — to see if there were other players who might be interested in something like this.”

After the group received a strong response, they organized the event, secured the space, and raised funds to make sure the tournament did not run into any problems. The event was not only successful for the team, but also the transgender community.
