Okay, neutral references then. Why do you think they are using that term?
Geez I didn’t even notice it but some of you have eagle eyes out there.

They're using that term because somebody in senior management issued a directive to use gender-neutral language even in cases where every person being referred to is of the same sex. This is a silly thing to do.

The IIHF changed it Too Many Players on the Ice some time ago because their rules apply to both the Men's and Women's games.
The AHL has at least one female Linesperson, so it's likely just a matter of time before she (or another woman) gets a shot in the NHL. No reason for them to not get ahead of the game on this.

Also I find 'Goaltender' an offensive term, as if the Goal is incapable of tending to itself, the official pronoun should be 'netminder.'

Reminds me when they have the Vancouver feed and Shorthouse was making the call. I messaged my friend and said I think the announcer has the flu. He’s like it’s the Vancouver feed … lol

An end of period goal for Calgary is unusual.

If they’re all white and cisgender does that need to be pointed out too? Sheesh. What’s silly about referring to people as people?
