BENTSTIX, 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. We have approximately 50 members. Each year during Mardi Gras we run the Australian PinkHockey Championship tournament. |

The first Dutch Gay team was established in 2001 to participate during the Gay Games 2002 in Sydney. Unfortunately we only had a boy’s team competing in Sydney. But after the great successes they had during the Gay Games it went fast and now there are more then 50 people active. During the Eurogames 2005 & 2007 the Dutch where represented by 2 man’s & 2 female teams and we are working on a 3th team. Your welcome to join us. |

During the Antwerp EuroGames in 2007 it was the first time British team participated. Both in the mens and female tournament a British team was represented. As firsttimers we did pretty well: silver for the Roses and bronze for the Guns. In England not only the Guns ‘n Roses hockey touring teams are active, there are also a couple gay & lesbian friendly clubs. More info about us and them you can find on our website. |

Charme on Tour is the first German lesbian team and was established in 2001 to participate during the Gay Games 2002 in Sydney.

By winning the gold medal in Sydney, Utrecht and Antwerp Charme on Tour is the most successful PinkHockey team. |
