Ancient old teamlists...?

hello peoples,

just purely out of curiosity, does anyone have any teamlists for the rep teams from their respective countries from 1986-1996? well heck, from before that if you know them... including coaches, managers and referees etc.

i tried to do some research for posterity here in nz, and found it was a tough job pulling records like that together.

hopefully some other people/countries have had a better method of recording history... are there any websites around etc with this kind of info that anyone knows about?

cheers

Hi Liam,

Over the past few months I have gathered Australian team lists from the beginning (1980 Worlds) including all Trans Tasmans / Southern Hemis.

I was hoping to get something happening like the Australian Cricket Team (and I think you guys have done this as well) having a chronological numbering of players. It will be unveiled at the Nationals I suspect.

But there are still a few gaps in the lists.

It would be great to have an International Player database though, and start getting some real elite game stats... are there any up-and coming Tony Greig's around...?

... I don't think the key thing will work in the pool though

Good luck with this. I had someone ask once how many tournaments Club Puck had been to... uh, dunno. Well, how many have you won.... uh, dunno. Well then how many Nationals have you won.... uh, somewhere between 5 and 9.

But the easy one I can tell you is Kendall Banks has been on the US Men's team in 80 84 86 88 90 92 94 96 98 00 02 and the masters team 04 and 06.

And if it's any help I think Roy was on the Aus team through 92

Oh yeah, and now they're broke.

I ran accross this a while ago looking for some of the same stuff.
Octopush and Underwater Hockey Historical Records

Seems like a decent place to start. I think the contact for this is Cliff Underwood, he's still pretty active with BOA right? anyone over there confirm that? I know sometimes sites like this get started and then sit for years with no attention. It would be pretty cool to get as much info on there as possible, like team rosters at national and international level comps.

I have a list of all WCs that includes following:
date (ie 1998 June whatever it was)
location (ie San Jose)
host (ie USOA)
commissions - when there was one - stopped about 2000 maybe? (guy from Canada)
winning teams in 1-3 randings

Thanks for the link, it even has old scores!
It would be great if all of the participating countries could collaborate team lists as well.

Alex - how are you progressing with that book? Are you on track to have it completed by the Nationals?

The book definitely won't be ready for Nationals. It has been logistically too difficult for me to chase up people and their photos, stories, etc, considering I have sent numerous email reminders and verbal requests.

However, I am hoping that the exhibition/display at the Nationals of stuff I have so far gathered will give people a bit of a push to commit and contribute to the publication.

And then it should be an aim to have it completed by the following Nationals - including next year's Worlds, and spanning exactly 30 years of Oz uwh.
