THEBENTSTIXPinkHockeyTEAMS
BentstiX, Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Field Hockey Club was established in February 1996 during the Mardi Gras Festival. At this time we formed the first Gay and Lesbian Field Hockey Club in the world. The Club is active mainly in the summer, when we play in a mixed (male and female) field hockey competition at Little Bay as part of the University of NSW competition. We have approximately 50 members. Each year during Mardi Gras we run an Australian Gay Hockey Championship tournament.
We became very active during the Sydney Gay Games in 2002 and were responsible for field hockey being included in the program. 10 teams participated from around the world. After the success of the event we formed the Gay and Lesbian International Field Hockey Federation and have begun starting recruiting throughout Europe, North and South America. This will eventually include Asia, the Pacific and India / Pakistan. Our aim is to bring together gay and lesbian hockey players from around the world.
The Dutch team who came out for the 2002 Gay Games have been responsible for including field hockey in the Euro Games 2005 in Utrecht, Holland. At this event we will run the first ever Pink Hockey Championships. We have decided to go to Holland for the Euro Games in June 2005. This is really a once in a lifetime opportunity for some of us to play hockey with like minded people.
