About Us

Twin Cities Queer Hockey Association (TCQHA) is an inclusive space for all LGBTQIA people! TCQHA was born from attending a Team Trans Friendship Series in Madison, WI. Where 45 Trans skaters played against other Queer folks and allies. While having conversations around the magic of having Queer hockey, TCQHA formed in the Twin Cities as the current hockey space did not exist for Queer folks. We realized that it’s time for EVERYONE to have a SAFE and Inclusive space to skate. It’s time to change the culture of hockey for all.

“Inclusion is not about making room in your existing system for marginalized people. Inclusion is about creating a new system where everyone feels safe and welcome. ~unknown”

 Our goal at TCQHA is to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone to have fun and play hockey. Since 2022, we have grown from one weekly pickup game to eight teams and two levels.
