  • In the 2023-24 season, roughly 45 girls across New Jersey owned a roster spot on a boys varsity hockey team. Of the girls coming back this season, Reiter is alone in being forced off a boys team, because her school has a girls hockey team. It remains the only girls co-op in the state.

The article from NJ.com discusses the recent sanctioning of girls' ice hockey as an official high school sport in New Jersey, which is expected to increase participation and opportunities for female athletes. However, it highlights the case of one girl, identified only as "Jane Doe," who has been excluded from her school's team due to a policy that requires players to have played in a certain number of games the previous season. This policy, intended to ensure competitive balance, has inadvertently left out players like Jane, who did not meet this criterion. The article explores the implications of such policies, the potential for legal challenges, and the broader debate on how to balance inclusivity with competitive equity in newly sanctioned sports. It also touches on the emotional and social impact on the student, who feels marginalized despite the sport's growth and the community's enthusiasm for its sanctioning.
