Our story

The Bentstix story

Bentstix Hockey Club is Sydney's only LGBTQIA+ hockey club.​Established during the 1996 Sydney Mardi Gras Festival as a social network, the club has grown to become one of the world's largest and most successful LGBTQIA+ hockey clubs, with over 100 members.

​We currently have three women's and four men's teams competing in Sydney winter leagues, social summer games, and international competitions. In 2018, our women's team won the Gay Games in Paris.​

Bentstix is dedicated to continually building a diverse, competitive and friendly environment that welcomes all new members wishing to play hockey, get fit and make new friends.
