editTitle: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Underwater Hockey
Lead Section
editThe University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign has one of the three oldest Underwater Hockey teams in the United States amongst city-wide teams, high school teams, and University teams. The team has founded in 1971 however Underwater Hockey was being played on campus as potentially as early as the late 1950s.
Over the years the team has held practices on the University of Illinois campus at the former Huff Hall pool, Freer Hall, and now the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) formerly known as the Intramural Physical Education Building (IMPE).
Typically, a tournament is hosted once a semester. These tournaments are well attended by teams in the Midwest region as well as alumni who make the trip back to play at their alma mater. The members of the team also travel to multiple tournaments a semester across the United States and Canada.
Today the team is co-ed and managed by a team president and treasurer. These officers are in charge of running practices, organizing the bi-annual tournaments, organizing team travel to compete in tournaments and team finances.
