The Chicago Gay Hockey Association (CGHA) is Chicago’s Official gay hockey organization. The CGHA is a registered 501c-3 organization.
Our mission is to provide a non-discriminatory environment within the hockey community. We encourage all people with a passion for ice hockey – novice or pro, male or female, straight or gay – to contact us and learn to skate, play on our team, volunteer for social events, come to the games, and join our organization.
Currently, the CGHA fields three teams named the Red Liners. The Johnny’s Red Liners play in the C3 division at Johnny’s Ice House, the North Shore Red Liners play in the recreational division at the North Shore Ice Arena and the Outdoor Red Liners play in the Chicago Outdoor Hockey League.
The CGHA also hosts events throughout the year ranging from the Wolves Night Out to PUCK-er Up, a CGHA vs. CGHA game complete with bragging rights and a trophy. In addition to skating in the Pride parade and hosting a booth at Pride Fest we also do several volunteer events a year to benefit the Chicago area. Check out our calendar for all of our games, events and more!
