A championship game of the Canadian women’s university basketball conference on Saturday night saw a transgender player score 21 points in the victory and finally win MVP of the tournament.
The Trans Harriette Mackenzie athlete took the University of Vancouver (ViU) to a 69-59 victory over Columbia Christian College (CBC) in the Pacwest championship game. Mackenzie finished the game with 10 rebounds in addition to the 21 leading points in the athlete’s game.
Mackenzie received the MVP from the conference tournament at a ceremony after the game. He took advantage of a season in which the athlete punished the competition on the court, leading the entire conference in annotation by a margin of 62 points on the score of second place, and took advantage of Canada’s anti -discrimination laws to bring punishment to CBC out of the court.

The honor of the MVP and the MVP conference championship of the Mackenzie tournament occurred after a dispute between the two teams of the season, of which the Trans athlete was in the center. Mackenzie was the player of the conference year in 2023.
The dispute resulted in the suspension of the CBC chief coach Taylor Claget, and CBC lost the rights to organize the Pacwest championship, since Saturday’s game would be played on the local CBC court. On the other hand, due to the sanctions imposed on CBC for the accusations made by Mackenzie, the game was played at the University of Capilano.
The dispute began during an October 25 game between the two teams, which Viu won 69-56 after Mackenzie scored 19 leading points in the game. Five days after that game of October 30, the Trans athlete published an Instagram video claiming that Catet “cornered one of our Atlético staff and was a diatribe about how he should not be able to play.”
Mackenzie claimed that a CBC player deliberately committed deliberately by a CBC player.

“The number 13 put me on two hands to the ground without a game in the ball in sight, then you can see the chief coach Clagett applauding in support,” said the trans athlete.
In response, Catet published his own statement on Instagram, claiming that Mackenzie’s statements were inaccurate.
“My intention has nothing to do with a specific athlete, but instead, the safety of female athletes in their sport,” Catgett wrote.
Viu then filed a formal complaint to Pacwest, which caused an investigation against Viu. When the two teams were scheduled to play each other again in two games on January 10 and 11, Viu refused to play due to the alleged incident of his first meetings.
“Intimidation, harassment and discrimination do not take place in athletics,” Viu said in a statement to Pak Gazette Digital in January about the decision not to play. “VIU supports our students athletes and affirms the right of all athletes to compete in an environment that prioritizes their safety and well -being.”
Viu even requested that the two losses do not count as losses in the team record, which was granted by the Pacwest.
CBC provided a statement to FOX News Digital that weekend declaring: “Accusations that CBC, their coaches, players and fans are a threat of security are simply false and poorly informed.”
CBC players then condemned Mackenzie in a letter sent to Pak Gazette Digital.

CBC players blamed Mackenzie for “personal attacks”, “defamatory comments” and even “comments that incite violence”, against their coach.
“The videos and letters published by members of the Viu female basketball team in the last three months have directly violated multiple rules established in article 17.2 of the Manual. Several publications have included ‘personal attacks’, ” Diffamatory comments ‘, lack of respect for the Pacwest’, and have led to ‘comments that encourage violence and/or hate’ directed in our coach”, the letter read.
“Each and every one of the accusations made by Viu players regarding our team and coach should have been directly communicated to Pacwest Solo officials, they should not have been publicly uploaded to social networks.”
The Pacwest then suspended Catet at early February, and CBC lost the right to organize the Pacwest championship after an investigation of the conference.
Viu ended first at the conference with a record of 21-1 and now he will enter the national tournament as champion of the conference. CBC will have to settle for a wild place.
Since June 2017, all places within Canada must comply with the Canadian Human Rights LawEqual opportunities and/or legislation against discrimination that prohibits discrimination against gender identity or the expression of gender identity. This law protects the inclusion of all trans athletes in women’s and girls sports.
The recent executive order of “No Men In Women’s Sports” by President Donald Trump in the United States states that any institution financed with public funds that allows Trans athletes to compete in sports or female sports will lose their federal funds. He has also repeatedly suggested that Canada joins the United States as state 51.
