Where's the Turks? I must agree with Liam on this one. I remember talking to them after our friendly game in 2002. I think one player on the team had tried underwater hockey before the tournament. Most of the team had played underwater rugby. They were quite litterally new players. Sure they got smoked, but they came to worlds asking questions about play, gear, teams, clubs, EVERYTHING. They made contacts with players, they were (still are) a really good friendly group smiling and laughing and learning. I don't think as a club they would be where they are today without this first attempt. Still growing but you have to start somewhere and I think if most of the teams that have played in their first worlds or euro's in the last 10 years waited until they were a bigger club they still would be waiting.
