Introduce yourself

yay we get to do this bit again.

i'm liam, i'm from new zealand, and i can't believe i am turning 29 this year.

i would like to say i'm in the kiwi mens team but we have trials next weekend and i don't want to tempt fate.

Wow, I can't believe I havent done this yet...got the biggest case of de ja vu though.

I'm Tom, from WA. I'm 17 and I've been playing seriousley for about 4 years (but i had done a bit of puck pushing and stuff since i was 10). This yr I was VC of the WA Juniors (hence why we won ) and I'm in the Aus team going to NZ for the SHC/Trans Tasman comp.
yeah, that'll do for me
Tom

I go away for work for awhile and come back to find all the discussion that I'd missed out on. It turns out that before I went away the forum I had been using was the "ghost" site. And I just thought everyone was ignoring me! :roll:

Anyway, I'm Gavan from Perth, Australia, and have been playing now for about 19 years. Played on the Aus team since 95 but have had a couple of years off international comp. Looking forward to 2008 though, if I make the team. Spent most of the 90's travelling and playing and coaching hockey all over the World, then I got a real job :cry:

Hi all, i suppose I will post an introduction as well. I'm Scott, I like skinny skiing… going to bull fights on acid…
…and talking and thinking hockey. Aside from a few months here and there where I got burnt out, and consequently out of shape, I have never lost the enthusiasm of a rookie. I was introduced to the game via video when I was ~8 or so but didn’t get to a place where I could play till I was 19. Then another 4 years till I was intoduced to A level play and the rules and stuff. I was hooked from the start. I like talking about hockey, gear, workouts, skills, team stuff, players, whatever. I’ve played in four worlds ’98 through ’06 (skipped ’04 for a variety of reasons) and I hope to have a couple elite level left in me.

I’m also really excited to read Lena’s advice on making a world champion. You’d have to ask coach Duck, ‘cause I’m not sure my lack of fitness did anything positive to my in water intelligence, but I think I’ve definitely filled out the first half of that training doctrine… now if I can do something about the second half.

Hi All,
I have read some of the postings and I am really keen to start playing Aqua Challenge. It sounds like a really great sport!

Ok, cool, how about you intro yourself and what country you are from and we can hook you up with a game!
Have you ever seen a game?
Check out u tube, search underwater hockey and you will find pleanty of footage
Cheers

Hi I am Matt Sweeney, I played my first game in the Drouin High pool in the mid 90's then moved in with Simon Roberts (local hockey legend) when I came to Melbourne for Uni. I have been playing on-and-off since then. I went to Durban for the SH in 99 and had a great time, great tournament btw it should be great in '08. Since then I have married a hockey chick (love ya Catherine!), started a family and a business, and haven't really had that much to do with 'serious' hockey. Now I am gong to NZ as a veteran in the Aus open team and really looking forward to the challenge!

I think you will be addicted to UWHW soon!!!
Glad you could make time for us all
Oh, Drouin, Memories!!!
We shoud have a concreat pool reunion 1 day
Cheers
Belle
