Join the Islington Chihuahuas - a club for LGBTQ+ people who live for ice hockey, offering off-ice training and socials - for an evening of ice hockey pride, and the UK premiere screening of The Hockey Player. We'll be running a raffle with exciting prizes to raise funds for London Queer Ice Hockey Club: the UK's first club for LGBTQ+ players.
The Hockey Player follows Luke Prokop, the first openly gay player under NHL contract, over three pivotal years as he pursues his dream of reaching the NHL. With unprecedented access, the film captures the pressures of professional hockey, public scrutiny, and personal resilience as Prokop navigates identity, expectation, and the weight of becoming a reluctant pioneer in the sport.
Screening sponsored by: Ice Hockey UK, IceTech UK and Eh! Hockey
