In 2021, @saroyatinker71 opened up about the years she spent fighting for her place in hockey, and how @BlackGirlHockey has helped make the sport more accessible: “I guess the truth is that I never really felt welcome at an ice rink. I never felt like I belonged....
You see, I grew hateful of hockey. I HATED that I loved it — or at least that I wanted to keep playing it. And I used that hate to motivate myself, to work harder. I played hockey after that like I was going to force the game to accept me. I wasn’t going to let it win. And so I pushed myself beyond limits I didn’t know I had.
I dreamed of playing for the Canadian national team at the Olympics and winning gold like so many of my heroes.
That felt, at least to me, like the ultimate way to prove the game of hockey wrong.
So I did my best to go above and beyond in high school, and when Yale offered me the opportunity to play in college, I knew I had to go. A woman’s road to having a career in hockey is not straightforward, and more important, it definitely is not lucrative. There are no big signing bonuses waiting for us when we get to the pro level.
I can’t put into words everything I got out of my experience at Yale. It was truly life-changing, and my time there will carry me for the rest of my days, I know that. But one thing I want to mention is that at Yale, for the first time in my hockey career, I got a brand new pair of skates.
Like it might not seem like much to you. But NEW skates?
My whole life I’d had hand-me-downs or used ones.
And it kind of hit me then, that the sport of hockey for little girls — especially girls of color, many of whom come from middle- to low-income households — is incredibly inaccessible.
Hockey is so expensive in our country.
A top-end pair of skates will cost you over $1,000 today.
A thousand dollars....
And this, right here, is one of the many reasons that Black Girl Hockey Club is so damn important.” https://t.co/HazE0USue7
