Boston Pride Hockey - LGBT

09/24/2026

Fall hockey is back—and we’ve got two weekly Pick-Up skates on the calendar. Pick-Up has been part of BPH since our founding in 1989 and remains one of the easiest ways to get on the ice with us, bringing players together each week for a friendly, social skate open to all skill levels.

This fall, you can join us every Tuesday and Thursday night:

TUESDAYS | 9:00 PM
📍 Connery Skating Rink | Lynn, MA
📅 September 29–December 29

THURSDAYS | 9:00 PM
📍 Simoni Memorial Rink | Cambridge, MA
📅 September 3–December 17

🎟️ Skates are $20 each, or save by signing up for a Pick-Up Pass. As always, BPH also offers 100% anonymous financial aid.

Sign up for individual sessions or grab your Pick-Up Pass through the links in our bio or anytime at bostonpridehockey.org/pick-up.

See you on the ice!

In 2019, Boston Pride Hockey helped co-launch Team Trans Ice Hockey and hosted its inaugural Friendship Series in Boston. This August, we welcomed Team Trans back to where it began—and today, The Athletic and The New York Times are sharing the story of that return and, more importantly, the stories of the athletes who make this community what it is.

Reporter Rebecca Tauber joined us at Warrior Ice Arena to capture a weekend that was about far more than the games themselves. More than 100 players came together from across North America for hockey, friendship, and community—and for the opportunity to simply take the ice as themselves.

As the story explores, that opportunity carries particular meaning today. Across the country, transgender athletes are increasingly being banned and excluded from participation in sports, from youth and school athletics to organized and recreational competition. Against that backdrop, spaces where people can play freely, safely, and authentically are more important than ever.

Our commitment remains clear: trans athletes belong in sports.

As Team Trans co-founder Mason LeFebvre says in the piece: “We’re still here, we’ve always been here, and we’re going to keep being here.”

For one weekend in Boston, no one had to hide.

Team Trans, an all-trans hockey team, gathered from across the country to play a series of friendlies, less than two months after the Supreme Court upheld state bans on trans athletes.

Earlier this month, more than 100 players and hundreds of spectators and guests came together in Boston for our biggest BPH x Team Trans Ice Hockey Friendship Series yet—seven years after we first came together for the inaugural series in 2019.

Over two days of play, six games brought novice, intermediate, and advanced players together at Warrior Ice Arena—first competing in BPH vs. Team Trans matchups, then mixing the benches to play alongside one another. Beyond the games, a full weekend of skills sessions, pick-up hockey, and social events gave our communities even more opportunities to come together.

We’re grateful to everyone who showed up, took the ice, cheered from the stands, volunteered, and helped make the weekend what it was. Seven years after that first Friendship Series, BPH remains as committed as ever to supporting trans and nonbinary athletes and creating opportunities for them to play, compete, and find community through hockey. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏒

Here are a few team photos from the weekend, with plenty more to come!

A quick look at a pretty special weekend. Thank you NBC10 Boston for joining us at Warrior Ice Arena and shining a spotlight on the BPH x Team Trans Friendship Series.

Trans athletes belong in hockey. Trans athletes belong in sports. And we’re proud to keep making that clear.

This weekend, BPH is proud to welcome Team Trans Ice Hockey back to Boston for our 2026 Friendship Series—a full weekend of hockey, connection, and community.

The relationship between our organizations runs deep. In 2019, BPH co-founded Team Trans, incubating the organization within our nonprofit to create a dedicated space for trans and nonbinary hockey players to come together and take the ice as Team Trans for the first time right here in Boston.

Since then, Team Trans has grown into a thriving organization of its own, reaching trans and nonbinary players around the world and creating opportunities to play, compete, and find community through hockey.

Seven years later, we’re bringing our organizations together again in Boston for our biggest Friendship Series yet. Over 100 players will take part in six games across skill levels at Warrior Ice Arena, including friendly BPH vs. Team Trans matchups and mixed-roster games. And there’s plenty more hockey beyond the games, with dedicated skills sessions, pick-up skates, and social events throughout the weekend.

BPH has always believed that trans athletes belong in hockey. We were proud to stand for that belief in 2019, and we’re just as proud—and just as loud about it—today.

Whether you know BPH, Team Trans, both, or neither, come join us at Warrior. Watch some hockey, cheer loudly for our trans and nonbinary players, and help us make one thing unmistakably clear: trans athletes belong.

You are safe here.
You are valued here.
You belong here.

Today. Tomorrow. Always. 🏳️‍⚧️💙

WHAT WE CARRY | Andrew Mason (he/him)

Community. That’s what Andrew carries.

For Andrew, community means more than simply being surrounded by people. It’s about finding a place where he feels welcomed, belongs, and can be unapologetically himself.

“Community is that feeling of belonging, being welcomed, and unabashedly being who I am without fear,” he shares.

After moving to a brand-new area, Andrew found that community through BPH.

“Through our shared love of hockey, I found friends,” he says. “More importantly, I found a place where I belong.”

For Andrew, BPH is more than a hockey organization. It’s a reminder that community isn’t just about where you are—it’s about the people who make you feel at home.

WHAT WE CARRY | Maggie Salmon (she/her)

Ascend. That’s what Maggie carries.

For Maggie, ascend became more than a word—it became a way of looking at life. No matter what life brings, she believes there’s always an opportunity to move forward.

As her life began taking on a new form, Maggie found BPH.

“When I walk into the rink or attend BPH socials, it’s an opportunity to ascend to a better way of life,” she says.

For Maggie, BPH is more than a hockey organization—it’s a community that continues to lift her up.

“When I’m with people as amazing as everyone in BPH,” she reflects, “there’s no down, there’s only up.”

That sense of belonging gives Maggie confidence in whatever comes next.

“I don’t know where my life will be in the next year, or two, or ten,” she says. “But I do know that BPH will always be a part of it. And since that’s the case, I’ll always be able to ascend.”

WHAT WE CARRY | Jenna Markow (she/they)

Community. That’s what Jenna carries.

For Jenna, finding community has not always come easily—but it’s something she has always been looking for.

“Being neurodivergent sometimes makes it challenging for me to connect with others and find spaces where I feel comfortable being myself,” she shares.

Finding BPH has meant a lot to her—a tight-knit and welcoming group of people where connection feels natural and genuine.

“I’m thankful for the opportunities that BPH has given me to connect with others,” she says.

For Jenna, BPH is a place of belonging—something she carries with her both on and off the ice.
