UNDERWATER HOCKEY, a new sport I'm falling in love with

Well, I'm easily falling in love with water sports rite? so, I found this sport interesting, simply because I get to practice in routine, twice a week. within 3 months, I gain soooo much from it. Better posture, more focus attention, better sleep and better shape (who dosn't want that?) ... but the best of all, is friendship. As u all know, I like to meet and know new people, thus by joining this club (Jakarta Underwater Hockey Club) I get so many new friends.  And now after only 10 months, I'm trusted to be the club's PR. Such an honor. And I'm proud of it :)
























Although I am a newbie, but the sport is not new at all. Underwater Hockey was started in the United Kingdom by Alan Blake in 1954 where it was originally called Octopush. Originally called "Octopush" (and still known primarily by that name in the United Kingdom today) the original rules called for teams of eight players (hence "octo-"), a bat reminiscent of a tiny shuffleboard stick, called a "pusher" (hence the "-push"), an uncoated lead puck called a "squid", and a goal known at first as a "cuttle" but soon thereafter a "gully".
