We'd All Rather Be Flicking!

My hockey mates posted this invite for the summer, in case anyone is interested in learning how to play underwater hockey.

The Philippine Underwater Hockey Club aka PUHC is a fun group of young people, from very diverse places all over the world. For example, this "ad" was created by Margie, who in real life works with Arkeo Films, an indie movie group. Other members range from professionals to students, entrepreneurs to corporate animals, triathletes to weekend warriors.

The club has its roots in the late '70's, when the U.P. Skin Divers Club was formed, then later, the U.P. Divers Club came about. These divers were always looking for some water-related sports and underwater hockey was introduced. By the mid-80's, a core group of aficionados had broken away and devoted themselves full-time to hockey.

Today, three decades later, there's a hockey game in some pool somewhere in Manila almost every night of the week! If you liked the previous post on the hockey players showing off their flicking skills, this might be the sport for you!
