The Chicago Gay Hockey Association (CGHA) is Chicago's official gay hockey organization. We welcome all sexualities, skill levels and hockey enthusiasts! Come join us! The CGHA's mission is to provide a non-discriminatory environment and all encompassing experience within the recreational adult hockey community. The CGHA covers it all from playing in hockey leagues to organizing scrimmages. Through fundraising and merchandise sales, they sponsor free practice ice and lessons, team essentials like pucks and water bottles, and travel assistance to tournaments. Team building is an important part of the organization. The numerous social and volunteering events help improve team camaraderie. All people with a passion for hockey – novice or pro, male or female, straight or gay, players or fans – can join our organization.
