The issue of co-ed dressing arrangements in locker rooms often arises, and USA
Hockey is frequently asked to provide some type of guideline about dealing with
such situations. Teams, leagues, associations and USA Hockey need to recognize
that there are gender equity issues to deal with when managing a co-ed locker
room setting. Both female and male privacy rights must be given consideration and
appropriate arrangements made.

1. Where possible, have the male and female players undress/dress in separate
   locker rooms; then convene in a single dressing room to hold the coach’s
   pre-game meeting
2. Once the game is finished, hold the coach’s post-game meeting; then have
   the male and female players proceed to their separate dressing rooms to
   undress and shower (separately), if available.
