Okay, all you swimmers and divers come and Join us for underwater hockey at the YMCA Aquatic Center on I-Drive Orlando (407 363 1911) We play friday nights at 7:00PM. No charge to try it out. Bring mask, snorkel, fins and a good sense of fun (we have the sticks, gloves and pucks). Team is co-ed and no experience is necessary. See you underwater!
Some of the players at Orlando's 1st UWH tournament
Our first tournament and I think everyone felt it was a roaring success. Potluck style tournament with a total of 5 teams and more that enough playing time for everyone. It was a great experience for the Orlando team getting to play with teammates that had national and international experience and a few of our players even scored some goals. A great social event at Lucky’s BBQ Sat. night and I don’t think anyone went home hungry. Everyone is already talking about having it again next year.
We are one week away from our tournament to be held at the YMCA aquatic center on the 18th and 19th. If you can play please let Areil know immediately, if you have not already done so. There will be a BBQ for players at Lucky’s house at 6pm for all participants. The BBQ is a sponsored event so there is no cost . . . just show up.
This is another great video from one of our practices at the YMCA Aquatic Center.
Gene Augustin Age 80 and UWH player!
I’ve often wondered how old a person has to be before they can no longer play UWH. Well now I know it’s at least 80! Gene “Geno” Augustin played for the first time with us friday night and did great at age 80! Did he take a break NO, did he stop and hurl NO, did he complain NO. He just said he had a great time and will be back. AWESOME!
Other news is Carl and friends are working on a video transmitter so we can screen the UWH games to the scoreboard and the internet. Should be a nice weekly show “The Battle on the Bottom”.
Lucky Meisenheimer Underwater hockey
Come on out and swim the lake on Saturday at 7:45 . Then join Lucky around 9:15am to push the puck some. We have gloves, sticks and pucks just bring your fins, mask and snorkel.
Ariel Czesler - Underwater hockey god in front of the wall of fame.
Well I finally got Ariel to come join us for Lucky’s Lake Swim and I think he’s hooked. It’s a great opportunity as well for us to recruit more players for the club. If folks would like to come out and push the puck on Saturdays after the swim this would be great advertising (I have gear for folks to borrow).
I am doing a UWH workout on monday 8/8/11 from 5 to 6PM at my home (6645 Lake Cane Drive). If anyone would like to join me stop on by.
What else are you going to use it for???
What will $5 get you these days. Not much, but at the YMCA Aquatic center it will buy you an hour and a half of underwater bliss at 7PM on Friday nights. Yes, we have finally worked out a daily fee for underwater hockey play. So if you can’t afford a Y membership you can still play on friday nights. So, just plan on ponying up a Mr. Lincoln when you show up each time.
You still have the option of Joining the Y and if you decide on this route just talk to Lucky and we will see about getting the joiner’s fee waived.
