Senate Committee Accuses USA Hockey of Opening Women's Leagues to Trans Players in Dallas

A Senate Commerce Committee report says USA Hockey let trans women keep playing in the Dallas Stars Women’s Hockey League even after complaints, leaving female players to compete against men or quit.
The committee says USA Hockey created an “open classification” after revising eligibility rules to align with USOPC guidance and Trump’s order, then used that pathway inside leagues still marketed as women’s competitions.
Dallas’s women’s league was later suspended and set to be replaced by an open league, which the committee said effectively erased a women-only option for local players.
The allegations test whether national governing bodies are enforcing last July’s USOPC policy limiting the women’s category to biological females; USA Hockey and the Dallas Stars had not commented.
