	Hey - does anyone know of any sports leagues for bi/gay ppl in the
Boston or Western Mass region ??

	This summer - I went to RCC a coupla times during the day ; there
were volleyball regulars there and also a bunch of lesbians that were
part of a softball team. Is there a larger organization that serves up
team sports interests out there for gays ??

	One thing I really miss in the gay scene is the lack of interest
in sports. I've met tons of really cool straight (or presumedly straight)
people over the years participating in athletics - its just an awesome
way to meet people and have fun at the same time! 

	Someone else told me about a Rugby League outta the SF BAY area
that has a couple of teams with gay guys in it ..

Jim,
Look in the Boston gay newspapers for events put on by Team Boston (?) or
a similar name.  I remember a contingent from Boston in 1990 at the Gay Games
IV in Vancouver.  There's also a Boston Front Runners running group.
If you want to locate them and can't, let me know.  I can check with
our SF Front Runners.

Also, you might try writing: Jay Hill, Executive Director,
Gay Games IV, 19 W. 21 Street, Suite 1202, NYC,NY 10010   
or: Unity '94, P. O. Box 202, Times Sq. Station, NYC,NY 10036.

Good luck!  I know what you mean about meeting interesting people
in athletics.  There are lots of gay athletes around (especially in
my neck of the woods).  Hope you find some company.

Robert

Recently, the IGHL (International Gay [Ice] Hockey League) was formed.  There
are teams from Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, Montreal, Vancouver, and
Toronto.  A New York team is being formed also.

I'll be putting together a nice posting sometime soon to "advertise" the
league and see if there are other interested people.  If there are any
ice hockey players (or officials) out there who think you might be interested,
please get in touch with me.  I also have the names of contact people for
the New York, Boston, and Montreal teams.                  -- kennyz

I was amused to read in the Orange County [California] _Blade_ that a gay
hockey club "The Southern Californian Blades" are 8-0-2 in a straight league
and are leading the whole league. 

Have you heard of them? The paper claims they became the first openly gay
hockey team FIVE years ago. call 213-650-4517 for more info.

Ron-
	
	heh - does this really surprise you? We all know that part of
being gay is being an 'over-achiever'. :-) At least it works for some
people...
