I was there to witness the debut of Underwater Hockey. I met Kurt and Alan who told me a little of the history of the game and also put on a clinic and let people try the sport. People were shown the equipment and worked with some of the experienced players to learn the game.

Alan came from Seattle and is trying to get a league started in the area and the YMCA's Cheryl Podtburg said they would be willing to host it, if there was enough interest. I also talked to Kurt who came to Duluth to help get the game started.

We were treated to the equipment and a half hour version of the game. If you would like more information you can hook up with the Minnesota Underwater Hockey group on their Meet Up! page. If you would like to see the YMCA start a league you can contact Cheryl at CPodtburg@duluthymca.org or call her at 218-203-8212 and let her know you are interested.
