At the heart of this tournament is more than just hockey — it’s history, honor, and homage.
Our Competitive and Social Conferences are divided into themed divisions that pay tribute to monumental moments and figures in LGBTQIA+ history — from the brave uprising at Stonewall to the ongoing fight for Equality, from the march toward Victory to the radiant light of Radiance that shines from our community’s trailblazers.
Each team name honors an icon or pioneer — individuals whose courage, brilliance, and authenticity helped pave the icy paths we skate today. Whether you’re suiting up for Ride’s Raiders, cheering for Sylvia’s Storm, or lighting it up with Bird’s Ballers, you’re stepping into a legacy of progress and pride.
We hope that when you leave the ice, you carry with you more than just memories of great goals and big wins — but also a deeper connection to the vibrant, diverse, and resilient history of the LGBTQIA+ community.
