Gay league thriving in Toronto | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

In a perfect world, Chris Murray, commissioner of the Toronto Gay Hockey Association (TGHA), knows his league would not have to exist. But the reality is, only in the past decade has the conversation started to move in a positive direction when it comes to acceptance for all players, regardless of sexual orientation. Murray has played in three leagues for several years, which has given him an opportunity to experience the atmosphere around recreational hockey. While he feels intolerance and homophobic language have significantly reduced in the past 5 to 10 years, not that long ago there was a real need for a league like the TGHA.
