Summer GHI Tournament Dates

Through the magic that is the internet and link clicking, I went from an article about the side effects of an anti-smoking drug to GHI, the Gay Hockey International.  Open to the gay, lesbian, bi, and transsexual community, but doesn't restrict allies from joining the league, the GHI has outposts in Albany, Boston, Chicago, LA, Montreal, New York, Ohio, Ottawa, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco (2), Stockholm, Toronto, Vancouver, Vermont, Windsor, and Wisconsin.  There are inactive groups in Colorado, Minnesota, Utah, and Washington DC.
