Welcome to the Madison Gay Hockey Association
Welcome to the online home of the Madison Gay Hockey Association. We are proud to be the premier LGBTQA ice hockey league in Wisconsin and to provide an environment free of harassment and discrimination for members and friends of our community to play ice hockey and fulfill their athletic aspirations. We are a comprehensive league that supports and encourages both beginners and seasoned players to interact, teach, learn and foster athletic development in a welcoming, constructive environment. Take some time to browse the site. From our player profiles to our forums, our photos to the community calendar, we work hard to provide a means for anyone interested to become a part of the MGHA!

| Diversity BBQ The D-Squad (University Housing Diversity Squad) is throwing its end of the Year Social/BBQ this Sunday, May 4th from 1-6, in the Witte Backyard. They're really hoping to get a strong presence from local LGBT groups this year. Plus they're providing free food, games, music, and other entertainment, so you can't go wrong unless you don't go. Champions For Children! This Sunday, May 4th at 9pm, come see amateur drag kings and queens take the stage for a good cause! Club 5 is hosting the 'Champions for Children' benefit to raise money for Children's Hospital. The show features players from many of Madison's gay sports leagues including the MGHA and will be headlined by Felicia MeltonSmyth. Congrats to the Toronto Women's Team The MGHA women's team that travelled to Toronto this weekend had an amazing time, both on the ice and off. They tied their first game, snagged a wildcard spot in the playoffs, and shared goodwill with their hosts and the other tournament players. Pictures of the Toronto tournament are posted at http://www.flickr.com/photos/26019776@N03/ We Need Your Feedback We'd like to remind you one last time if you haven't taken a couple minutes to fill out the MGHA end-of -season feedback survey, please do. Only about 1/3 of the league's players have responded so far, and we need everyone to let us know what they think to help in building the organization and planning for future seasons. |

The MGHA is concerned about keeping hockey accessible to all LGBTQA players, and works to keep league fees as modest as possible.
It is thanks to the generosity of its players and supporters that the MGHA can offer opportunities to learn and play hockey to Madison's entire LGBTQA community, regardless of financial circumstance.
