Justine Blainey: The teenage girl who went to court to play ice hockey with boys

Teenage Justine Blainey displayed her ice skates proudly and her well-received podcast Frozen Out tells the story of her legal battles in the male-dominated sport. The Justine Blainey Wellness Centre pays homage to the activist, and her letter published in Toronto Star along with her court battle are powerful moments in her remarkable history. Justine’s relentless fight against the Metreo Toronto Hockey League (MTHL) led her all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Read or listen to more about Justine Blainey’s bold journey in the series, Frozen Out, now available on BBC World Service’s Amazing Sport Stories.
