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.

*pictures a team of six each side, rowing around on lielows, with a big paddle to hit a bouy somewhere close between two marked posts, protected by a guy with a mean expression floating on a different coloured lielow*
Sorry - correct me if I am wrong!....

LOL! I wish! We have to swim on the bottom of a pool with a heavy puck and come up for air occasionally!Originally posted by Yshania

You were right about six a side though...
We use bats to push the puck and throw it around.

It's the same for everyone until you get past that first stage of being afraid to go underwater and lying on the bottom of a pool. Now I play it four times a week!Originally posted by Tamerlane
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.

Slightly off-topic...
But since this thread is full of sports fans I may get the help I need.
For the last 5 years I´ve been looking for a good soccer UK anecdote site or book. Why?
Somewhere in the UK, between March and July of 1997, a referee punched a player after an argument, and in a conscience crisis, showed himself the red card and walked away from the game.
I saw this on the TV news and told my friends about it, and of course they did not believe it. It won several "Forrest Gump Awards" (prizes for best/worse urban legends told); but I want to find a proof that the story is real and not invented as my friends say.
Have anyone heard of this story? Know of a site/book that has it documented so I can clean this stain on my credibiliy? This story is harder to proof than the jumping great white sharks one!
