The members of the Chicago Gay Hockey Association who participated in the 2011 Chelsea Challenge in NYC this weekend came home with some lovely medals for their FIRST PLACE finish in the Rec B division. While The CGHA started slow, losing to the Toronto Wolfpack 2-1 in the first game, a 6-1 win against the Hartford Whalers showed us that we still had spring in our step. After a 2-2 tie with the NY Wizards we moved into the semi-finals in second place. In our semi-final game against the NY Wizards we were able to defeat them 5-0. In the championship game agaisnt the Toronto Wolfpack we won with a final score of 3-2 after a hardfought game.
The entire weekend was a great success and a lot of fun. The CGHA continued recruiting players and teams for our upcoming tournament in August. We would like to thank the NYCGHA and all the other teams who participated this weekend. It’s always great to see our friends from across the US and Canada.
