History

Ottawa Pride Hockey was founded in 2020 by friends Alex Vincent and Kat Ferguson. Alex and Kat had attended a friendship series with Team Trans and Boston Pride Hockey and were inspired by the fun and inclusive environment to create Ottawa's own queer and trans friendly team.

Logo & Jersey Design

The "otter" was chosen by several of our original team members as our logo. It was important for us to have a mascot native to our region. The river otter is a playful and mischievous little creature that calls our waterways home and loves to frolic on the ice in the winter months! In designing our logo, we spoke with a local Two-Spirit Knowledge Keeper and Storyteller who guided us in incorporating elements of our land into the logo. The final design was created by Ehren English, a queer artist in Ottawa.
