In Kuzbass, ice hockey games were held. They became the first Siberian matches in such an extreme sport.
Practically divers play this hockey, and the puck “chases” by the inside of the ice of a frozen lake so the players have to navigate it in an unnatural upside down form.
As the participants of such an amazing hockey say, inverted state in water quickly get used to, harder to handle sticks and puck. However, exclusively to everyone participants in winter underwater matches, this game is very I liked it.
It is no accident that they plan to assemble teams here next winter already from many regions of Siberia.
As for the rules of the game, teams play this hockey, consisting of two to three people, the match period lasts until scored year, it is about fifteen minutes. And the gate enemy – just a hole cut out in ice, though triangular forms with a side of three meters. Between the gates the distance in fifteen meters.
Recall that the first world championship in underwater hockey passed eight years ago in Austria (Weissensee, February 2007). According to his rules, participants had to emerge from the hole every thirty seconds, because they played without breathing apparatus. In Siberia, the game was held in scuba gear, so the divers were under water right up to the goal scored.
