I was not aware that underwater hockey was a thing, but there's a local team in Seattle. Via The Seattle Times, a Seahammers member describes underwater hockey as "having a high barrier to entry."

As someone who used to play water polo, underwater hockey sounds challenging and fun, plus a really great workout.

Take a dive with the Seattle Seahammers underwater hockey club

Continuing the tradition of the underwater hockey club, from its 1988 inception at Western Washington University, the Seattle Seahammers practice twice a week.

@mgrass speaking of hybrid sports in the Seattle area, is the plaque still there at the Cal Anderson Park basketball court noting that it is where bike polo was invented? I thought I took a photo of that, but I can’t find it in my files. :(

@IMGoph Good question! I'm not sure. I think the center of gravity of bike polo in Seattle has shifted over to Judkins Park from Cal Anderson Park. https://instagram.com/seattlebikepolo?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
