2026 Mini Underwater Hockey League

Welcome to the Mini Underwater Hockey League.
The league gives students a taste of Underwater Hockey (UWH) and develops a love of the game so that when they reach Secondary School they can join up for their school's team knowing what the game is about.

What do you need to bring?

Gear: Mask, Snorkel, Flippers, sticks & gloves are provided but even if you can bring some gear then that is very helpful.
1) Players who play in the WUHA schools and clubs league are ineligible to play at Mini Leagues. 
 This is because the Mini League is a place to allow kids to try out the sport in an environment where everyone is learning together.
2)Teams are not allowed to have players from other schools playing in their team without prior approval from the Mini League coordinators.
