Who we are
We’re a team of players, coaches, advocates and fans united by a belief that hockey should be for everyone. Here’s how we’re working to make the game safer and more inclusive for 2SLGBTQIA+ people at every level.
Our Purpose
Our mission is to create safe and inclusive spaces within hockey for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, one shift at a time.
ASC exists to build an inclusive and thriving hockey community for queer and trans people and their allies by creating opportunities to play, connect, and lead. Through grassroots engagement, digital platforms, and strategic partnerships, we empower individuals to shape a hockey culture where queer identities are celebrated, leadership is shared, and belonging is foundational.
Our Values
Respect
We respect the experiences and knowledge everyone in our community brings and treat each other with compassion and understanding.
Integrity and Transparency
We center the needs of our communities by being transparent, setting clear expectations about our goals, and being receptive to feedback.
Accountability
We are accountable and committed to evolving our understanding, language, actions and programming as social values evolve. We will design and advocate for all accordingly.
Accessibility
We believe everyone deserves access to the resources and support our organization provides. We work to accommodate the needs of our members to the best of our ability.
Authenticity
We are striving for long-term impact for our community above all else and humbly committed to doing the work that needs done behind the scenes vs in the headlines.
Collaboration
We foster solid communities by collaborating with partners across the sport and working towards common goals and solutions together.
Our Team
Our organization is guided by an Executive Director and a Board of Directors whose lived experience drives a shared commitment to building inclusive hockey communities.
