It's weird, but inclusion can feel uncomfortable for older or more conservative people.

I always thought the whole idea around group dressing rooms and showers to be a bit odd. And I've played hockey and changed and showered in them for 3 decades.

I think it would be a little awkward and difficult for lots of kids.
So we are actually now resorting to telling kids to change into a base layer at home or in the dirty, cramped arena bathroom (likely with a backed up disgusting toilet) prior to a game in order to avoid an uncomfortable situation of possibly seeing someone's butt or bare chest for 5-10 seconds ?

Players that aren't small children need to shower and will be naked anyway afterwards....are we mandating bathing suits in the showers now as well? This seems like another non-issue that is being blown up due to a minute number of players or players families having a problem.
