Underwater Hockey

Well, tonight is my first experience with this underwater hockey. Quite frankly I am looking forward to it. Any pointers for a rookie would be gratefully accepted.

Re: Underwater Hockey

Yes...make sure to tighten the speedos so that the back part is almost invisble between your butt chicks....

Re: Underwater Hockey

Swim at least 500 m before the games starts. You'll thank me if you do.

Re: Underwater Hockey

Kev: good game tonite, let me know if you want to do some training at URI's pool, i can prolly sneak you in. You should come tomorrow, its a totally different game, and a lot less cramped, its a good place to really see what skills you have, and what you need to work on.

Re: Underwater Hockey

Em
That was an awesome workout last night. I just thought I was in shape, it is totally different from freediving, lap swimming, or anything else I have done in the water. I was totally out powered though with those tiny fins I wore. I am ordering new ones this morning.
I think it was pretty clear to everyone I stepped on, hit and bumped into, that my skill level was at entry level. Half of the game I think is learning to maneuver around all those fins and bodies. I am glad I went and I will definitely make it a regular game. I can't make it to URI or Conn yet. Too many commitments, but I am certainly interested in going. I would like to improve my skill level and endurance first also.
It was a good time and a lot of fun!
You were pretty impressive to watch, both you and Joe have some real stamina and bottom time. It is a lot harder than spearfishing, that is certain.
Kevin

Re: Underwater Hockey

Is UWH a weekly event? I really want to develop a workout regimen at a place somewhat close to the URI area.

Re: Underwater Hockey

There are 4 games a week within an hour of URI.

Monday/Tuesday in Framingham, MA (Keefe Tech) PM me for an email contact

Thursday in Warwick, RI (Healthtrax)
Small/shallow pool/rough bottom www.rireduwh.com

Friday in Groton, CT (UCONN Avery Pt)
Best hockey pool around...tile bottom...www.seconnuwh.com

Sunday in East Lyme, CT (East Lyme H.S.)
Huge pool/rough bottom...www.seconnuwh.com

Some of us play multiple nights a week and car pool from the URI area. Emily is trying to get a club going at URI.

Check out the gallery for videos taken at the Friday night Avery Point game. There are at least 4 spearboarders in the videos... Pete also has some up on the www.seconnuwh.com site

Re: Underwater Hockey

If you are looking for a game anywhere in the world, check out the Underwater Hockey Tourist. Great site, typically up to date.

Gainesville would be the closest to you. I think the contacts on the UWH tourist site are current. I have a different email for Greg Mullersman than is on that site so you can PM me if you like I can get you in touch. The other contact Dave Wiles is a spearboard member *i think*.
