Underwater hockey

[poe67]

We play in Bar Harbor, Maine. Last night was 2 on 2. Last year we always had more that 12 people that wanted to play.

Sorry about jumping in here late, but UWH is a great sport. Very fun. If any of you need help in getting a game started, please feel free to ask. I'm the western regional director for UWH in the USA and can help support getting pool space, recruiting people, and even getting pucks and sticks to play with. I can even get people to your location for a beginner or advanced clinic.

Cheers,

Sean

Hi all,

I'm the northeast region develpoment director. Sean posted the underwater hockey tourist so you can find a game anywhere in the world. Sometimes pools, times, and contacts change, so if you don't find what you are looking for drop me a line.

A lot of good information is available on the USA UWH website: usauwh.com

Here are some videos from games in RI and CT: groups.google.com/group/rireduwh/web/videos

Let me know if you need any help/info.

Best,
Joe Klinger
USOA USA UWH NE Development Director
