Tournament Committee

To produce a premier tournament takes a tremendous amount of work. In addition to our amazing sponsors & supporters, Seattle Pride Hockey Association would like to thank the individual contributions of those who help curate such an amazing event and all the behind-the-scenes work that’s required to pull this whole thing off. We thank you.

Special Guests

Andrew Ference

Andrew has long been a supporter of social change initiatives to help the environment, and he is also a big supporter of promoting equality and inclusion in the sports.

It comes as no surprise then that Ference became involved in a Kickstarter campaign for Pride Tape, a pro-quality hockey stick tape in rainbow colors which aims to show support for LGBTQ+ athletes.

Kurtis Gabriel

Kurtis currently plays for Rockford IceHogs but is under contract with Chicago Blackhawks. Kurtis is well known as being the only player to ever use Pride Tape outside of designated NHL Pride Nights. His advocacy work for the local community earned him the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year with the Wild and Phantoms. If you follow Kurtis on Instagram, you will notice his advocacy for trans rights, breaking gender norms, speaking out against bullying, among other social impacts.
