Chicago's LGBTQIA+ Hockey Community
Join a team where every player, no matter their identity, background, or skill level, is welcome
Hockey changes lives when everyone feels welcome to participate
Since 2002, Chicago Pride Hockey (CPH) has brought together LGBTQIA+ players and allies of all backgrounds and skill levels to create a supportive, inclusive hockey community both on and off the ice.

"After taking 10+ years off of skating, I immediately felt at home on and off the ice with this amazing group of people. I’ve only been a member for a relatively short time, but I can confidently say I’ve made lifelong friends."
Cale Hoffman (he/him)
"Hockey is once again now a huge part of my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way."
Andi Vertz (they/them)
“I hope to serve as a role model for another young athlete who just needs to see a little representation to know they can be a positive contribution to their team and community.”
Mario Calero (he/him)
More than a place to play, CPH is a place to belong
We're more than ice time and team rosters. CPH is built on the people who show up, cheer each other on, make space for new players, and turn a game into a community.
That sense of belonging shows up in the little things, and sometimes the very loud things: ridiculous nicknames, shrieking across the ice, and celebrating each other with awards that are somehow both deeply unserious and emotionally important (like our prestigious Diva Down Bad Award).
At CPH, hockey gives us a reason to gather, but the joy, friendship, and full-volume support are what make this community feel like home.
Join a team that makes room for you exactly as you are
Come skate with us, find your people, and become part of a community that makes hockey feel welcoming.
