Mark yourself as absent and let your captain know if you cannot make your game. Please make sure you’ve marked yourself absent or have signed up to sub by 9 AM on Sunday. Captains will be getting their sub desk emails at 10 AM due to the earlier schedule. Have your phone nearby if you’re looking to sub.
Sign up to sub if you want some extra hockey. This is your last chance.
Be on the lookout for scorebox opportunities for Sunday. We’ll need your help.

In addition to the games, we’ll have our league photo taken. Please show up on time for this as we have a very limited window. Also, please wear your team’s jersey. Take the ice in your team’s location based on the image below:

Championship Night Logistics

Here are a few things to know about championship night:

Pre-Game: After the warmup, the announcer will ask that both teams line up on their respective blue lines at the same time and we will read off the names. When your name is called, give a wave. Subs can hang back on the bench. Anniversary pucks and the All The Way Award winners will also be announced during this time.

Overtime: For the championship games only (1st vs 2nd), if regulation time ends and the game is tied, it will go to a 5 minute 5-on-5 sudden death. If there is still a tie after that, it will go to a 3-round shoot-out, then to a 1-round shoot-out. All bench players must participate in the shoot-out before a player is allowed to shoot twice.

Food: Social is working on getting us some food for the night. More to come.

That’s it. We hope you had a fantastic season and so much fun. While Sunday ends this season, the next one is right around the corner and we hope to see you back for the 2026-2027 season.

What Gay Hockey Means to Me

I was still full of adrenaline as we made our way back to the locker room. It pumped through my ears so loudly; I could barely hear my coaches announce me as player of the game. I did a double take. Me? Surely not. I was nowhere near as good as my teammates. And yet, my coaches had seen past that. They had seen my hard work and determination. They appreciated that I was trying not because of my skill, but my lack of it. They knew what it was like to be in my skates and recognized me for trying my best. They welcomed me for who I was.
