Octopush

Countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa play underwater hockey. There is no contact while playing and they use sticks a little smaller then a ruler. Other then that same principles apply. They push the puck into the net and whichever team has the most goals by the end of the game wins. The players use underwater respirators, this would come to a disadvantage for those who wanted to play outside the league. April 18th of this year will be the Newport 10 year anniversary for the sport. The British Octopush Association organizes the events. I think this game would be a lot of fun. I love to swim and I love hockey. Its interesting to see how Europe brings to life new ways of playing traditional sports.
