COUNTDOWN TO LGBTQ+ WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
Welcome to the Seattle Pride Classic 2025, pres. by Symetra, the largest and most inclusive LGBTQ+ hockey tournament in the world! For five incredible years, we’ve been building a tournament that’s inclusive, electric, and unforgettable—and this year, we’re turning up the energy even more!
- Two registration windows for LGBTQ+ & ally players
- Two conference options—Competitive & Social
- Live in-game DJ, custom jerseys, epic off-ice events & more!
From fast-paced action on the ice to legendary community vibes off of it, this is hockey like you’ve never experienced before. Are you ready to make history?
This year, we’re celebrating FIVE incredible years of the Seattle Pride Classic—and we’re shaking things up to make it better than ever!
- You spoke, we listened. We’re keeping our two separate registration windows—one for LGBTQ+ players and one for our amazing allies. But that’s not all…
- NEW FOR 2025: We’re introducing two separate conferences—and the best part? YOU get to choose which one to play in!
More ways to play. More ways to connect. More ways to bring the energy to the ice! Let’s go!
This year, you’re in control! During registration, you’ll choose the conference that fits your vibe:
Within each conference, we’ll create 2–3 divisions based on the range of skill levels that sign up—ensuring fair, fun, and fierce matchups for everyone!
No matter where you play, you’re part of something legendary.
COMPETITIVE
In this conference, the objective is to continue the competitive nature of prior Seattle Pride Classics. Players choosing this format will enjoy the same exciting features as in previous years, including structured gameplay and a focus on standings. The final game on Sunday will be determined by standings, with trophies and first and second-place medals awarded to recognize top performers.
SOCIAL
For players seeking a level playing field without the pressure of competition, this conference offers a more social and inclusive hockey experience. Emphasizing camaraderie and enjoyment, it moves away from standings, trophies, and medals to foster a friendly atmosphere. Players will engage in a round-robin format, with teams balanced by skill level to ensure fun and engaging games. All matchups will be shared in full, so there’s no guessing your game time on Sunday.

USA HOCKEY MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENT
All players in the Seattle Pride Classic 2025 are required to have an active USA Hockey membership for the 2024-25 season (or register on 4/1 – but not beforehand – for the 2025-26 season – no later than 4/30). This membership provides essential insurance coverage for players, including liability and secondary medical coverage in case of injury during tournament play. If you are not already a USA Hockey member, you can register at usahockey.com on/after 4/1. We do not recommend enrolling prior to that – otherwise your coverage will terminate on 8/31/24 as opposed to 8/31/26. Your membership number will be required no later than 4/30.
OPTIONAL REGISTRATION INSURANCE – REGISTER WITH PEACE OF MIND
We understand that life happens, and unexpected events like injury, illness, or family emergencies can disrupt your plans. That’s why we offer optional registration insurance, allowing you to protect your registration fees under qualifying circumstances. If an unforeseen event prevents you from playing and you’re within our nonrefundable timeframe, this insurance helps safeguard and prevents forfeiture of your dues. Full details, including cost, coverage and how to opt in, will be provided during registration. Or, you can visit https://landing.verticalinsure.com/leagueapps.
