Established in 1985, the Los Angeles Blades are the first openly Gay and Lesbian ice hockey team in the United States. We currently have novice and intermediate teams that play weekly.

The Blades alsoparticipate in the Gay Games, we host the Play LA tournament in Los Angeles, co-host the Sin City Shootout with NYCGHA and we play yearly after the Kings Game at the Staples Center. We often host an ice skating party for everyone.

Our ice hockey club members are made up of diverse group of individuals from all walks of life, which include gay, lesbian, straight, transgender and married couples. Each team usually plays once or twice a week and we hold a practice scrimmage usually once a month.

We are always looking for new team recruits (beginner to advanced skill level), spectators, friends, volunteers, and donations.

We welcome all interested to inquire about joining and please come to one of our games (admission is free), an event or contact us to join the team.

Our club currently has one team playing on Tuesday nights consisting of intermediate & novice players, and we are currently looking for advanced players to play on a team that will start in the fall.

While we don’t have a women’s Blades team our women players play on various teams in women’s league in LA.  You can contact us for more info on women’s hockey.
