Naming PWHL Toronto after a sceptre, a symbol deeply rooted in white colonial history and monarchic power, is the opposite of celebrating this city’s rich diversity. In the context of Canada’s colonial past, the sceptre symbolizes not only authority and control but also the dominance and exclusion imposed by colonial empires. Choosing such a name also reinforces the fact that hockey is an elitist and inaccessible sport. For a sport that strives to become more inclusive and reflective of the diverse community it represents, this decision is a significant step backward.
