HOCKEY
IS FOR EVERYONE

Inclusive ice hockey with draft, all-star game & good vibes.

VALUES

INCLUSION

We run a single draft pool. Whether you've played for ten years or ten minutes, there's a spot in a team for you.

FUN

Leave the ego at the door. We play hard but we're here to celebrate queer joy, get moving and enjoy the game without the pressure.

VIBES

Expect a supportive crowd and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We're here to make sure everyone feels comfortable at the rink.

FRIENDSHIP

Our draft format means you'll hit the ice with a brand new mix of teammates. It’s the perfect way to meet new people and build connections across the broader hockey community.
