The New York City Gay Hockey Association (NYCGHA) is New York's first official gay
hockey organization. We provide an environment free of harassment and discrimination
for members and friends of the LGBT community to play ice hockey and fulfill their
athletic aspirations.
They are currently right in the middle of their Fall 2007 Season. Games are Friday or Saturday nights and this season
runs through early March 2008. If you'd considering the idea of playing hockey, now's the time to contact them. They'll
let you know what your options are and how you can join!
Ice hockey isn't as violent as seen in the NHL. You won't lose teeth and you won't get nailed to the boards.
All hockey at Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers is NO-CHECK.
Make new friends! Stay in shape!

A New Musical
New York has a bonafide new stage hit. Celia: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz, the new musical that recently opened at New World Stages!
The new musical which features performances in both English and Spanish has attracted an exuberant, eclectic and bountiful audience of east coasters (which certainly befits a show about a New York icon).
Fast becoming a "crossover" sensation and one of the undisputed theatrical successes of the season, Celia has also added another English-language performance on Tuesday evenings at 8 p.m.
Tickets ($67.05 - $87.05) are available through Telecharge.com or (212) 239-6200/6240 (Spanish). New World Stages is located at 340 West 50th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues.
