The Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota appears to be for women in name only.
The league, which touts itself as the largest women's hockey league in the world, follows USA Hockey guidelines, which allow for the participation of men.
'Pretending it's OK for men to play in a women's league insults women's sports.'
USA Hockey allows athletes to "participate on a team that is consistent with their gender identity" in order to allegedly "help maintain a fair and safe environment."
The policy, issued in 2021, adds that "gender identity" refers to one's "internal psychological identification as a male or female, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum."
Adhering to these guidelines, the WHAM has allowed at least seven different males to play among its teams, including four on a single squad.
According to Reduxx, a team in the league's A-division called the Robins had four active male players in 2024. Kayley (Kody) Misialek, Rhea (Brady) Turner, Diana (Chris) Sulmone, and Paige (Dylan) Rainer were all listed on the team's official roster. The team finished in second place in their division last season.

Reduxx further reported on the playing history of each of the four players, alleging that last year marked Turner's first season competing as a female; at six feet tall, he has also played on a transgender hockey team.
Misialek has reportedly been playing women's hockey since 2022, as has Sulmone.
Rainer allegedly played for a boys' high school team before transitioning to co-ed teams. He also reportedly switched to the women's league for the 2024-2025 season.
In cooperation with HeCheated.Org, the report named three more men playing in the women's hockey league under girls' names. This included one male who was alleged to run a venue that is labeled a "dyke and queer" bar.

Two women have spoken out against WHAM's inclusion of male players. Kelley Grotting said in February that playing against the men "feels unsafe" and is "not fun."
"I am not a transphobe. To each his or her own, but pretending it's OK for men to play in a women's league insults women's sports and creates safety issues," she added, per Alpha News.
In October, a former college women's hockey player said she was leaving hockey forever because men are allowed in the league in which she has played for 20 years.
"I am left to believe they do not care about my safety or the sanctity of the sport," she explained. "I can no longer participate in a league that does not care about me."
In response to criticisms about the league, a petition was filed in support of men in women's athletics, started by a sports bar that exclusively shows women's sports on its screens.
The petition said that the "safe and inclusive nature" of the league was being challenged, and therefore the community must "rally behind each individual's right to sport, regardless of gender identity."

The Left Is Nowhere Near Letting Go Of Its Trans Obsession
The left's approach to defending transgenderism may fluctuate, but its loyalty is unshakeable.Undercover video reveals Ohio school official IGNORING ban on boys in girls’ sports
One of the first things President Trump did when he got into the Oval Office was to take action to protect children in this country by signing an executive order to ban men from women’s sports.
And in 2024, Ohio passed a law banning males from competing in girls’ sports — but the law isn’t actually being enforced. In fact, it is being actively ignored.
In an undercover investigation carried out by Accuracy in Media, an interview with Jodi Zunk, assistant principal and athletic director of Eastwood Middle School in Pemberville, Ohio, revealed just that.
“We as a school are very open, but I will say in the larger community, there is still some — you know, it’s a small rural community. Whenever you get rural, you get pushback sometimes. But we are here to protect. Pronouns — him or her?” Zunk said in the secret recording.
“Ohio just passed a bunch of laws with the current administration. I’m very left-leaning, and I’ll just put that right out there. And so, this has been a struggle for me. But with the Trump administration and Ohio’s a Republican state, there have been some recent laws in OHSAA, which is our governing athletic body,” she continued.
“Previously, before they just changed some of these laws, we’ve had transgender students participate on the boys’ track team, or the girls’, or vice versa. Like, not their biological gender,” she added.
The reporter then played along, saying, “I do have an adopted birth certificate for my sister. She passes for a young lady. So we have that adopted birth certificate.”
“I wonder if we just don’t even tell anybody,” Zunk responded.
Accuracy in Media President Adam Guillette has had his team doing these undercover investigations in more than 250 schools.
“It’s gosh darn everywhere,” Guillette tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales. “You know, we’ve been undercover in Texas. In districts throughout the state, the exact same thing was occurring.”
“This is a part of our investigations in Ohio. I think it’s part seven. Both of them red states. If that’s what's happening in presumably conservative, Republican states, you know, what’s happening in Illinois, Rhode Island, California, or even the purple states?” he continues.
“These radicals put their agenda ahead of the safety of girls every time,” he adds.

Concerned fathers of female athletes are taking matters into their own hands.
After two bills failed to pass through the Maine state legislature, parents are taking to the streets to collect signatures in hopes of getting their own set of rules passed.
'We will effect change across the entire state all at once.'
The group of fathers, called Maine Girl Dads, is asking the general public of Maine to sign a petition for the initiative titled "An Act to Designate School Sports Participation and Facilities by Sex."
The act would require schools in the state to designate "athletic teams and private facilities," including bathrooms and locker rooms, on the basis of biological sex.
"This is important, as we will effect change across the entire state all at once, while providing a private right of action for enforcement, clarifying statutory cross-references, and ensuring severability," the group wrote on its website.
The dads are hoping to garner the 68,000 signatures required to get the initiative on the ballot in the 2026 midterms next November.
Weathering a cold November day in the Northeast, the group recently held a signature drive that saw overwhelmingly positive results.

"We collected over 53K signatures! In just one day, we're over halfway to our goal of 100K," the group recently wrote on X. "When this gets on the 2026 ballot, we win and girls' sports are protected. Let's keep going, Maine!"
WMTW-TV caught up with Steven Scharf, one of the men taking roadside signatures over the weekend, to see what the reactions were like from the general public.
"Everybody who's stopped by has been very eager to sign and can't understand why this is not just automatic and why this needs to go through a process of being voted on, and why the state legislature has not passed this as is," Scharf told the outlet.
Sending the question of banning boys from girls' sports directly to the voter circumvents the state. Not only has Maine defied President Trump's early February executive order on this matter, but the state Senate has shot down two different bills that would have achieved the same end.

Two bills passed the Maine House, which has a virtual split between Democrats (74) and Republicans (73), with three independents. However, neither passed in the state Senate, which is composed of 20 Democrats, 14 Republicans, and one independent.
Proposal LD 1134 was rejected by the Senate on June 13, while LD 233 was rejected just days later on June 16.
If the Maine Girl Dads get their way and their proposal is passed, it would become effective on Jan. 1, 2027.

This crisis in churches is real. Will Christians fight back?
A new study has uncovered an alarming trend: Fewer regular churchgoers believe the Bible is clear on transgenderism and homosexuality.
The survey — conducted by the Family Research Council and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University — found that only 47% of regular churchgoers believe that scripture is "clear and decisive" about "whether homosexuality is morally acceptable." That's a significant decline from 63% in 2023.
The moment believers treat biblical truth as negotiable, Christians become yet another cultural echo chamber.
Researchers, meanwhile, found that 26% believe the Bible is "unclear or ambiguous" about homosexuality, while another 16% said they believe scripture doesn't address the issue.
Even worse, only 40% of regular churchgoers said the Bible is "clear and decisive" on "whether transgenderism is morally acceptable," a 12-point drop from 2023. Nearly a quarter (23%) said they believe the Bible is "unclear and ambiguous" on trans ideology, while 24% said they believe the Bible doesn't address it.
These results demonstrate that American churches are experiencing a crisis of biblical truth.
But how?
But these results are surprising for two important reasons, not least of which is that they appear to refute suggestions of a Christian revival in America.
First, while these are two issues central to the progressive project that have largely become cultural orthodoxy, a growing number of young people are rejecting the left's version of the good life. Thus, you'd expect the data to reflect the trend away from progressivism and toward objective truth.
Second, the Bible is by no means unclear or ambiguous on either issue — no matter what "progressive Christians" say.
On homosexuality, the Bible establishes in Genesis that central to the union of man and woman (i.e., marriage) is the ability to reproduce. This prescription is reaffirmed countless times. Jesus even cites Genesis when challenged about the true purpose of marriage (hint: He does not affirm homosexuality). Moreover, as the fledgling church grappled with questions of sexual morality, the apostles affirmed that sexual immorality of any kind — that is, porneia, or any sexual activity beyond the confines of a marriage between one man and one woman — is sinful and contrary to God's design. This, of course, includes homosexuality.
On transgenderism, Genesis is clear: God created man and woman, a complementary pair that reflects the divine union. God chooses our gender for us — not our feelings.
So what do we do?
First, we must name this for what it is: not a cultural or data problem, but a discipleship problem. The Bible hasn't changed, and scripture isn't suddenly vague. The truth is that many pastors and churches have gone quiet on these important issues, which demand moral and biblical clarity.
Silence has a cost, and now the bill is due. When pulpits grow timid, the pews grow confused.
Second, Christians must recover confidence in the Bible's authority. God's word is true and timeless. It doesn't need to be apologized away or reinterpreted to acquiesce to our cultural moment. It speaks as clearly today as it always has. Cultures and politics may change, but God's truth remains the same.
The moment believers treat biblical truth as negotiable, Christians become yet another cultural echo chamber — and lose their saltiness.
RELATED: The poisoned stream of culture is flowing through our churches
Third, Christian leaders must teach clearly, intentionally, and with conviction what the Bible says about sex, marriage, and human identity. Christians today are drowning in confusion, as this study proves. They desperately need clarity, truth, and courage to stand up for biblical truth and to live it out.
Finally, Christians must take heart and remember that decline isn't defeat. It's never the end of the story. Every generation of God's people has faced moments of crisis and confusion. Revival is found on the other side of those moments. And it happens when ordinary Christians rediscover and reaffirm the power of God's word and refuse to bow to cultural idols.
But that renewal only comes when Christians stop apologizing for what God has already made clear, is making clear, and will continue to make clear.
Now is the moment for Christians to decide what kind of witness they will be. One that bends to the culture? Or one that stands firm on the Rock? The world is desperate for truth. Thankfully, we have access to God of truth, and in the end, He wins.
SCOTUS Overrules Judge Who Blocked State Dept. From Putting Natural Sex On Passports

In its order in Trump v.

The National Women's Soccer League has entered crisis mode at the end of its season.
With the playoffs set to start, a recent opinion article sent shockwaves through the league because it mentions one simple issue: that men should not play in women's sports.
'That article does not speak for this team in this locker room.'
Elizabeth Eddy, a 34-year-old who plays for Angel City FC in Los Angeles, penned an article for the New York Post recently asking for the league to adopt gender testing in order to maintain an even playing field.
Eddy suggested one-time genetic testing through either blood sample or cheek swab, which would be kept confidential to protect player privacy.
The American's level-headed essay even included the idea of "creating pathways for athletes traditionally excluded from competing at the highest level" in order to demonstrate "inclusion."
Still, the vary notion of screening men out of the NWSL was met with heavy criticisms from Eddy's teammates.
Angel City captain Sarah Gorden and vice captain Angelina Anderson held a press conference a few days later to publicly condemn Eddy's comments, shockingly accusing her of racism and bigotry.
"That article does not speak for this team in this locker room," Gorden stated vehemently. The captain said her teammates were "hurt," "harmed," and "disgusted" by some of the things that Eddy wrote.
Gorden went on to claim that Eddy's essay had "undertones that come across as transphobic and racist as well," but fell short of providing any quotes or specific details that fit her description.
However, Gorden did specify that she found it "inherently racist" for the article to feature a photo of Orlando Pride player Barbra Banda, claiming that it was likely because Banda looks different or is different.
However, Banda has been surrounded by controversy for years since being pulled from the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
As previously reported by Blaze News, Banda — along with teammate Racheal Kundananji — both allegedly had tested positive for impermissibly high levels of testosterone. An investigative report by the Telegraph stated that the players were removed from the Zambian women's team because they did not want to take hormone suppressants, citing possible side effects.
Zambian officials told the outlet that Banda had abnormally high testosterone levels, and so did at least two other players, including Kundananji.
Banda has been praised through the controversy and was even named the BBC's female footballer of the year in 2024. The award drew mass criticism, including from beloved writer J.K. Rowling, who called the award "more time efficient than going door to door to spit directly in women's faces."

Gorden added during the recent press conference that since she is a "mixed woman" with a black family, she was "devastated by the undertones" of Eddy's article.
Anderson further cemented the team's position and reinforced that Angel City was "founded upon inclusivity and love" for all.
The NWSL itself supported Banda's recent selection to the FIFPRO World XI, which names the best female players in the world, annually.
The league said Banda is an "extraordinary talent" and that any "harassment or hateful attacks" have no place in the sport or its "communities."
Kundananji was transferred to NWSL team Bay FC (San Francisco) in 2024. Banda missed a chunk of the 2025 season with a hip abductor injury.
