Hockey as a Lifeline for LGBTQ+ Players
Description
For over 25 years, the New York City Pride Hockey Alliance has turned ice rinks into safe havens for LGBTQ+ players, growing from a small idea into a thriving six-team league that welcomes all skill levels. Founded by Jeff Kagan after a Canadian tournament, and now led by Steven Greenberg, the alliance lives by “come as you are,” offering belonging, confidence, and community to those once excluded from traditional hockey. With rising visibility of LGBTQ+ athletes and personal stories of transformation, the league is more than sport—it’s a lifeline, proving hockey can be a powerful force for inclusion and healing.
