March 7, 2012 (Underwater) Hockey Anyone?

CaliforniaMama · 03-07-2012, 10:41 AM

How about a nice game of underwater hockey?

Developed in the '50's to keep Great Britain's divers in shape during the winter, the sport caught on and a lot of non-divers are playing the game. All you need is some snorkeling equipment and basic hockey equipment, like a puck, stick and safety gear.

A word of warning: This is a very taxing game, even for an experienced diver.

Hope they can hold their breath long enough to sit in the penalty box.

Trust me when I say that pucking under water isn't as easy as it looks. lol

Look! He just cut that guy's hand off with his knife! Nasty game.

Cool, but underwater ice hockey would be really impressive.

Neat photo. I hope we get to see it again in about a month.

Sorry, I've been a little distracted of late.

Wandering hubby is home and I should be able to get my head back in the game.

No worries, Cali-mama. All in good fun, I'm sure.
Heck at least people are paying attention enough to notice
