Well there is an World Championship aquahockey tournament going on in Vancouver, Canada this year in the summer, to be more exact, July 13-July 28. I hope to go as part of the Great Britain youth squad and there are 5 other teams playing in that division, Moldova, USA, Canada, Australasia, Hungary and New Zealand. Have a look at the site for the championships here.
I know we have a few sports fans and Canadians here so if any of you are Vancouver over the period come and have a look at the sport, you may like it!

| | LOL! I wish! We have to swim on the bottom of a pool with a heavy puck and come up for air occasionally!
You were right about six a side though... 
We use bats to push the puck and throw it around.

I used to think that was some sports exercise devised by my old sports teacher. I thought he was going insane. The bad memories are slowly returning...

| | We did aquahockey whilst learning how to scuba dive at school. A recreation game he said...
We never heard of it before, so we thought our teacher was trying to kill us or something. Staying underwater so long.
Yes we did have a few enjoyable moments, but the first few days . A bit hair raising.
