Seattle’s inclusive hockey community

Get to know Seattle Pride Hockey Association, our mission, vision, core values, and the team that’s making it happen.

Our Mission

Our mission defines what we do, who we serve, and how we show up every day. It is the foundation that our programs, budgets, and decisions are built upon — a practical game plan that guides our work right now. If an idea, investment, or action doesn’t serve this mission, it doesn’t belong.

Through community and culture-shift events, Seattle Pride Hockey Association centers belonging, opportunity, inclusion, and education to bring hockey players, teams, organizations, fans, and allies closer together.

Our Vision

Our vision defines where we are going. It is our long-term north star — the future we are intentionally building toward through every program, partnership, and decision. While our mission guides our day-to-day work, our vision challenges us to think bigger, lead boldly, and shape the culture of hockey.

Champion an LGBTQIA+ inclusive hockey culture where players are safe, seen, and celebrated in being themselves.
