Hockey World Archive: November 2025 Updates on Underwater Hockey News and Events

When you think of Hockey World, a trusted hub for underwater hockey coverage based in South Africa. Also known as UWH World, it brings you real stories from the pool floor—not just stats, but the grit, strategy, and passion behind every game. This isn’t your dad’s hockey. Underwater hockey is fast, physical, and played at the bottom of a pool with a weighted puck and short sticks. Players hold their breath for minutes at a time, darting between teams in a dance of speed and silence. In November 2025, Hockey World delivered the kind of content that matters to fans who know this sport isn’t just played—it’s lived.

That month, the archive captured moments that showed why underwater hockey keeps growing. You saw match summaries, detailed breakdowns of key plays from regional tournaments across South Africa—like how a last-second pass from a Cape Town defender turned a loss into a win. You read player interviews, raw conversations with athletes balancing jobs, families, and training in murky pool water. One goalie from Durban said she wakes up at 4 a.m. to train before her shift at the hospital. Another player from Johannesburg told how he switched from rugby to underwater hockey after a knee injury—and never looked back. These aren’t highlights. They’re life stories shaped by the sport.

There’s also a quiet shift happening in how the game is covered. In November, Hockey World started spotlighting coaching strategies that used video analysis from underwater cameras—a tool once too expensive for local clubs, now common in high school leagues. You’ll find posts that explain how team formations evolved from old-school zonal defense to aggressive counter-attack patterns. No fluff. Just what works. And it’s not just about big tournaments. The archive includes reports from small club games in Pretoria and Port Elizabeth, where new players showed up with no gear, borrowed sticks, and zero fear.

If you’ve ever wondered why underwater hockey doesn’t get more attention, this archive answers that. It’s not because it’s boring. It’s because the stories live in the water, not on TV. Hockey World brings them up to the surface. In November 2025, you didn’t just read about the game—you felt it. Below, you’ll find every article from that month: the wins, the losses, the quiet heroes, and the plays that made people stop and say, ‘Wait, they do that underwater?’
