If players wish to change out of or into their base layer at the arena, then they will have to do so in an individual stall.The new Hockey Canada policy takes aim at "minimum requirements of attire" in dressing rooms. If players don't wear the base layer, they will have to change into it inside a closed washroom stall at the rink.&nbsp;These changes are aimed at fostering a more inclusive environment for hockey players of all genders, religions, and even players who struggle with body image issues. Although some parents have complained that their children are smelly after practice, Craig Robinson, coach of the Halifax Hawks minor hockey team, thinks it is a small price to pay for inclusivity."This isn't just about gender, it's about everyone being comfortable. Coaches can't always visually identify and automatically know what gender someone identifies with, so this just allows everybody to fit into that dressing room."As seen on Blade of Steel - "New Rules
