US Hit by Underwater Hockey Madness

by Dr. Enozia Vakil on August 18, 2013 at 10:58 PM

Underwater hockey, an unconventional sport popular in South Africa, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, is now getting popular in the US too!

According to CNN, underwater hockey is an intense, high-speed game where one needs to hold breath, while tumbling over teammates.


Keith Morgan, a player of the sport, said that it was for people who were true athletes, and he is twice the age of one of his teammates.

However, despite its international popularity, underwater hockey has yet to rise to the surface of mainstream sports in the United States, perhaps because it can't draw thousands of spectators like football or basketball, the report said.
