Calling All Gay and Gay-Friendly Hockey Players and Enthusiasts!
[Salt Lake City, Utah] January, 2011 - Whether you are gay, straight, girl, boy or somewhere in between, The Utah Gay Hockey Association (UGHA} is a fun group of hockey loving enthusiasts dedicated to developing the sport of hockey among LGBT and LGBT-friendly ice hockey enthusiasts. All skill-levels, from beginner to expert, are encouraged to join. Those who are new to the sport will have the opportunity to learn all of the basics, from skating to playing.
Hockey is one of the fastest growing adult recreational sports in America! The UGHA is dedicated to providing an opportunity for gay people and gay allies to play hockey in an environment free from harassment or discrimination. Our objective is to break down stereotypes about gay athletes, promote fair and competitive play, and develop leadership, coaching and player skills.
Our organization is focused on promoting teamwork, pride, and cooperation between gay and heterosexual athletes. It is also our goal to create a social atmosphere centered on both promoting the sport of hockey and having fun. We are currently in the process of forming a recreational co-ed gay/gay-friendly hockey team. Whether you¹ve played hockey before or are simply interested in learning a new sport, now is the time to get involved!
During the months of January and February, the UGHA will be conducting a "SKATE AND MEET" during public skating hours. Everyone is encouraged to get involved, including athletes of all skill-levels, fans, volunteers, and interested sponsors. To learn about SKATE AND MEET times, sign-up online at: www.utahgayhockey.com, or send an email to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
