The 18-year-old has identified openly as a female since the end of 2015 and had lived with her grandmother since Christmas of that year, though she has since moved out.

The family claimed the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League club then indicated in meetings that the home would be unsuitable for billeting should the transgender woman continue to live there.

“I was told that while my grandchild was living with me, they would not be placing a player to live here,” Kormos, a club supporter of 50 years, said at the time, with the club apologizing the next day for what it called a misunderstanding.
