Last night the Victoria Underwater Hockey club was awarded the Pacific Coast Championships Sportsmanship trophy for our excellent conduct both under the water and above it. This was a little unexpected and we’re very honored to be the recipients of such an award. Way to go Brad and Patrik for setting the standard and tone for our play for the weekend.
A big hearty congratulations go to our Victoria PCC team which placed 5th overall in the mixed division. With Captain Brad and Co-Captain Patrik leading the way, the whole club played hard, and reaped the rewards. Considering this was our first PCC team in 10 years, having never played together (not enough people to play a full 10 on 10), and 1/2 our players had played only 20 games or so going into the tournament - we have definitely played our little hearts out. Well done all!
Photos from Friday are now in the photos section, with more from the rest of the weekend coming soon.
(Note: there will NOT be a face to face meeting)
First game is Friday at 8:00 pm
Last game will end at approx. 4pm on Sunday.
Banquet is at the Holiday Inn in Victoria (food at 7pm (tent.))
Referees meeting at 5:30 pm on Friday (at the pool) - all designated refs are to attend (if you aren’t in town yet, please read the document by Simon Talbot)
Wall set up will take place on Friday (11am start) - all volunteers welcome! Wall takedown will commence immediately after the final game in each pool (lots of help needed!)
12 players allowed on roster but only 10 per game, all players must be members of CUGA/USOA Roster must be submitted (to ref table or Marie-Rennee) before first game. (more…)

Hey, does everyone have enough equipment for now? If not, post something here.
With all the equipment coming at PCCs, we should have plenty. Does anyone know if Mel is bringing a bunch of Cressi masks or do we have to ask? Do we have enough pucks or should I order another Oreo?
Am just testing this posting.
Everyone should check their email from Yahoo Groups as there is some important info on it regarding the site. See you all tomorrow.

We need people in water and on deck reffing. Please let me know if you are willing - remember there will always be an experienced ref in the water too… If I dont get enough volunteers, I’ll start picking people… 
Also the tournament is scheduled to start at 7pm Friday evening, thats all I know so far - I have no schedule yet, so plan as is you will need to be at the pool by no later than 6pm Friday. Also come earlier if you can to assist in wall building - let me know!
Can I also ask ALL the PCC’s team members to arrive at training this Wednesday at 8pm in the pool cafeteria so we can have a meeting to discuss a few things - let me know if you will NOT be able to make it.
Thanks,
Brad
