What kind of player are you?

pretty hard to know where to put this... there doesn't seem to be a category for foolish time-wasting related to uwh. but anyway. work is winding down for the year...


what kind of player are you?

when you are on the surface and someone swims the puck underneath you towards your bin, what is your first reaction?

a) swim faster to the end of the pool in a shocked manner (er... you are in fact a lane swimmer. please leave the pool as a booked session has begun)

b) hang in the water still facing forwards following the play with your head only (you are likely to suit playing forward and also to have your team-mates rag you for not going back to help)

c) turn immediately and swim backwards as fast as possible without looking for the puck until you're a fair way back (you're probably best suited to back or goalie/fullback, and you rarely see your own team score a goal)

d) turn and swim after the puck at moderate pace while keeping an eye on it (most likely you're well suited to play back or halfback... when the hare raced the tortoise your childhood hero was probably the tortoise)

e) swim ahead to the goalbin where your team will eventually put the puck on a plate for you to score (you are definitely a forward and a special kind of forward... the seagull forward. you probably annoy your team-mates by dropping on their passes into the opposition goal and claiming the score as your own... after watching "finding nemo" it's likely that you couldn't stop saying "mine, mine!" for weeks)
