The James Bay Athletic Association began in 1886 when a group of men from the James Bay neighbourhood formed a baseball team called the James Bays. The Association's interests expanded to include rugby, track and field, basketball, tennis, wrestling, soccer and ice hockey. The Association's rugby team is still active today.
