WE PLAY HOCKEY

Rochester Pride Hockey was formed in 2018, with the goal of providing Rochester area residents an opportunity to play ice hockey with their peers, in a non-discriminatory environment.  Rochester Pride Hockey will be providing numerous opportunities and outlets to it's members, including;

  • The formation of teams to compete in organized recreational hockey leagues in Rochester, N.Y.
  • An opportunity for new players to learn the game of ice hockey
  • The formation of teams that can participate in out-of-town gay hockey tournaments
  • A wide variety of social events
  • Volunteer opportunities which align with the mission of Rochester Pride

OUR MISSION

​Rochester Pride Hockey is an adult ice hockey organization for people of all sexuality, and gender identifications.

We are especially committed to providing opportunities for those who have historically felt uncomfortable in traditional sports settings, by through teaching how to play the game, and playing in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

​We aspire to the highest standards of sportsmanship and promote integration of the wider Rochester community into the gay community.

WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY HOCKEY?

Rochester Pride Hockey has partnered with Bill Gray's Regional Iceplex in an effort to provide new prospective players an opportunity to learn the game of ice hockey.  The Iceplex runs a highly successful learn to play program for adults called the Never Ever League.  This developmental program was created to teach adults with no experience how to play the game.  The program is set in a positive, nurturing environment, one that aligns well with Pride's mission.  Since it's inception in 2012, the program has taught over 1,200 adults how to play the game.
