Back Transgender and Non-Binary Participation Policy - 01 September 2025 onwards

Can trans and non-binary people compete in hockey?

Trans and non-binary hockey players are very welcome to play hockey at every level of the sport. Only trans and non-binary players who were assigned female at birth and are not using masculinising hormone treatment will be eligible to participate in the Female category.

Trans women who were assigned male at birth will be able to compete in hockey in the mixed hockey competitions and the Open category. For hockey that falls outside of the policy trans women can participate in the gender they identify as.   

Trans men can compete in hockey in mixed hockey, and the open or female category dependent on their use of testosterone hormones
