Inclusion & Diversity
“Our goal is simple: to ensure that anyone who wants to play, coach, officiate, or participate in ice hockey can do so in a safe and supportive environment.”
Pride Week
The EIHA celebrates Pride Week annually, demonstrating our commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion in ice hockey. We work with Hockey is Diversity to promote visibility and create welcoming spaces for all participants.

Para ice hockey is part of the EIHA family, providing competitive opportunities for players with physical disabilities. The sport follows modified rules while retaining the speed and intensity that makes ice hockey unique.
