Hungary to host 2013 Underwater Hockey World Championships

CMAS recently announced that the 2013 Underwater Hockey World Championships will be held in Eger, Hungary.

At a recent meeting of the CMAS Board of Director approved a request from the Hungarian Divers Federation to host the tournament from August 23 to September 1, 2013.

The CMAS memorandum states “The Organising Committee will be set up within two weeks and will carry out all the activities in order to make the WC not only a success, but a joyful and memorable gathering of the best CMAS athletes in this discipline.”

CMAS Underwater Hockey World Championships, Portugal

Australia sent an Elite Men’s and Elite Women’s team to the 17th CMAS Elite World Championship of Underwater Hockey held in Coimbra, Portugal from 16 – 27 August 2011.

Results

Australian Elite Men win gold

The Australian Men’s team won gold with a 6 – 1 win over South Africa in the World Championship game.

The win ended a drought of sorts for the Australian Men as it was their first title since the 2002 win in Calgary. They did it in style, the 6-1 scoreline was the largest margin in a World Championship Men’s final for more than a decade.

The boys made their way through a very even round robin stage in unspectacular fashion. Six wins, two draws (to Great Britain and South Africa) and one loss (to France) was solid but uninspiring.

It looked as though it would leave them as the third placed seed. However, a surprise loss by France to Turkey in the final round robin game saw Australia leap frog the French in the standings and enter the finals as the second seed.

This meant a quarter final match up against a hard working Great Britain team who had proved stiff competition in their drawn round robin match. While it was a tight and hard fought contest, Australia progressed to the semi-final with a workmanlike 4-2 win.

France loomed has their semi-final opponent after atoning for their stock round robin loss with a massive 13-0 win over the Turks in a controversial quarter final. Following a spiteful first half the French played uncontested for most of the second half – swimming in goal after goal – when the Turkish team refused to contest the game due to perceived umpiring bias.

The two teams have a history of producing close matches in the pointy end of the competition.  The teams had met in the semi finals in the previous two World Championships and in both cases the French had prevailed in extra time. As such, there was no shortage of motivation amongst the Australia boys to put in a big effort. In an intense and physical encounter an unselfish team performance saw the Australian boys reverse the result of previous years winning 3-2 to book themselves a ticket to the big dance.

Australia’s opponent in the final was a South African team that had progressed undefeated through the competition. Spectators arrived at the pool expecting a close match but in the minds of many the South African team was the strong favourite to take out the title.

In a close and frantic opening saw the puck move from end to end. Blake Sutcliffe got on the end of a solid multi phase drive from the middle of the court to score the first  goal four minutes into the game. Nick Yong extended the lead when his break away resulted in Australia’s second goal at the midway point of the first half.

South Africa reduced the margin shortly after.  With Australia a man down in the sin bin the South Africans where able to take advantage of a penalty in front of goal to score.

The game see-sawed back and forward for the remainder of the half but neither team was able to penetrate the opposition defence. Halftime saw Australia hold a 2-1 lead.

South Africa opened the second half strongly but the Australian defence held firm. A sustained counter attack saw the Aussie boys work the puck up the pool before scoring their third goal four minutes in.

Tom Miller had the opportunity to stretch the lead shortly after when he found himself in the clear in three metres out from goal but a wayward flick over the top of the goal allowed the South Africans to clear the puck. Thankfully for him the Australian boys were able to lock the play in their attacking third and score a minute or so later.

Nick Yong looked to have put the result beyond doubt shortly afterwards when his break away goal stretched the lead out to 5-1. The South African’s had other ideas and next four minutes saw them make a  sustained attack on goal. Once again the Australian defensive structures held strong.

Another Australian goal in the final minutes of the game stretched the margin out to 6-1 and ensured the largest margin in a World Championship Men’s final in more than a decade.

The win reasserted Australia’s dominance in the international Men’s division and delivered a tenth World Championship title from the 16 competitions we have contested.

Australian Elite Women win silver

The Australian Women’s team collected Silver, losing 1 – 3 to Great Britain in a closely fought World Championship decider.

The Australian girls record of five wins, one draw (with France) and one loss (to Great Britain) saw them finish the round robin stage as the second seed.

The GB team had defeated them quite comfortably 5-1 in the early stages of the round robin but the Australian’s gave themselves every chance in the final after their impressive run through the finals. They defeated Canada 5-1 in their quarter final match then followed it up with 5-0 win over France in the semi-final.

The final was a high skill and physical exchange. The GB girls skipped out to an early lead before the Australian girls pegged back a goal. Another first half GB goal saw that margin sit at 2-1 at halftime.

The Australian girls came out after the break all guns blazing but the GB were able to absorb the pressure before putting the result beyond doubt with a third goal.

Reports from the 2011 World Championships

The 17th  Elite World Championship of Underwater Hockey 2011 were held  in COIMBRA, PORTUGAL, 16 – 27 August 2011. These championships were organised by The Portuguese Federation of Underwater Activities (FPAS).

Congratulations to both teams! Fantastic results!
Australian Mens team won Gold, defeating South Africa 6 – 1 in the grand final.
Australian Womens team won Silver, losing 1 – 3 to Great Britain in their grand final.

See the Mens Team profiles and the Womens Team profiles on the 2011 World Championships Website and also see the full list of results.

Aust Womens Coach, Tommy Solopotias, had a blog post on the World Championships in Portugal in 2011. The post is no longer available but here are a couple of extracts:

“The women’s final was fought out between 2 countries with very similar views on the game. Without getting into the detail, the plan for us was to throw GBR off by neutralising their strength area. The girls did everything I asked of them and the English game plan turned into just guts and effort but the strength they maintained in their back line was unmovable on the day. They did to us what we normally do to other teams, get off to a 2 goal lead quickly and spend the rest of the game settling into a rhythm. Typically going 2 goals down in the first 5 minutes makes it a big mountain to climb thereafter; not impossible but in a final it is that much harder.”

“The men’s final was one of the most clinical displays of finishing I have ever seen at any level. The boys spluttered along in low gear for much of the comp, just getting by on the bare minimum and I wondered if they would ever kick into gear. But when it counted they certainly pulled out the stops and destroyed RSA with an impressive 5:1 score.”

2012 Trans Tasman Discussion Paper

International Hockey, Including a new Trans Tasman Agreement

Discussion from UHA AGM held in Melbourne on 5 December 2010
Prepared by Jane Gilligan 30 December 2010

The purpose of this document is to seek feedback from Australian UWH players about a new approach to the Trans Tasman tournament.

Proposal:

  • A more flexible Trans Tasman Agreement will be proposed with New Zealand
  • Australia and New Zealand would take it in turns to organize competitions. Australia will organize competitions in 2012. A competition summary for 2012 is below.
  • The agreement will include a Trans-Tasman in the elite category.

Objectives:

  • Create a flexible tournament agreement with New Zealand
  • Continue with the tradition of the Trans Tasman series competition
  • Continue with a bi-annual international competition
  • Create competitions that are non-profit, run in the best interests of players, well planned and no obligation.

Key drivers for change:

  • There has been much discussion about an altered international schedule from, CMAS but we know that major tournaments will happen every two and four years, and there will still be a requirement for development competitions in the ‘off years’.
  • The current trans tasman agreement is regularly being updating or adapted for each competition (the rules that are currently agreed are creating constraints rather than opportunity)
  • The current bi-annual competition is viewed by the players as a little bit ‘stale’

How to have your say:

  • Talk to the Underwater Hockey Australia Rep for your state  –  Lena Plambeck (NSW), Kirsteen Reid (Vic), Russell Cox (Qld), Craig Proctor (Tas), Joe Tindal (SA), Craig MacKenzie (WA).
  • Discuss with Australian team coaches and players
  • There will be an opportunity for general discussion at Nationals in 2011

International Tournaments and the Trans Tasman, 2012

In 2012 Australia has responsibility for hosting and organising the trans tasman competition between Australia and New Zealand. Australia would like to propose a new Trans Tasman agreement that provides flexibility for the host country to design the tournament each year. This competition summary assumes that this agreement is put in place.

Elite underwater hockey, 2012

Australia Cup / Trans Tasman
A competition will be held on the east coast of Australia. Any country can enter teams, and as many teams as they like. Countries entering multiple teams should select even teams with a focus on development. These teams will play for the Australia Cup. Barbarians teams would be considered on application. Teams will play a maximum of three games a day (with some players also playing a fourth – the trans tasman game).

Australia and New Zealand will select their best teams from the pool of players attending. A trans tasman game will be held once a day over three days during the round robin tournament. A trans tasman series game will be held for:

  • Elite women
  • Elite Open
  • U23 women
  • U23 Open

Junior underwater hockey, 2012

Australian Junior Nationals / Trans Tasman
New Zealand teams would be invited to attend the Australian Junior Nationals, to be held in Tasmania. Teams should be regional, not national strength teams. New Zealand teams will be unable to compete for finals in the Australian Junior Nationals.

Australia and New Zealand will select their best teams from the pool of players attending. A trans tasman game will be held once a day over three days during the round robin tournament. A trans tasman series game will be held for:

  • U19 women
  • U19 Open

Masters underwater hockey, 2012

Asian Cup / Trans Tasman
Australian proposes that New Zealand and Australia send masters teams to the Asian Games in 2012. Australia sent masters teams to Manila in 2010 and found that it:

  • Was a good level of competition to take to the Asian games (elite would not be appropriate)
  • Build good team morale for the masters
  • Was affordable
  • Is an important contribution to underwater hockey in our region.

Teams would enter as per the competition requirements. In addition, Australia will negotiate pool time for the trans tasman competition to be held in conjunction with the Asian Games.
Australia and New Zealand will select their best teams from the pool of players attending. A trans tasman game will be held once a day over three days during the round robin tournament. A trans tasman series game will be held for:

  • Masters women
  • Masters Open

2010 Trans Tasman

Details

2010 Trans Tasman Series, Auckland New Zealand, 26 – 30 July, 2010

Background

The Trans Tasman series for 2010 was held in Auckland New Zealand, 26 – 30 July. The competition is held biennially and traditionally also included the Southern Hemisphere Competition in a combined format which this year was a triple round robin. Games between Australia and New Zealand determine the winner of the Trans Tasman, whilst the top 2 teams go into a final to determine the Southern Hemisphere Championship.

This year had a bit more confusion added to it because of the transition we are going through towards the CMAS World Championships in 2011. The Trans Tasman cycle occurs in odd years and was last held in Melbourne 2009 so the event for the first time was held in successive years. Also the absence of South Africa from this tournament (last participated in 2005) has caused us to abandon the Southern Hemisphere Charter and we are currently trying to create something in its place. The final this year was played for the Auckland Cup.

The absence of the Southern Hemisphere Charter made for a messy run up to the tournament with bothAustralia and NZ still negotiating the structure of the comp after Australia had arrived at the tournament. However, once the comp gets started all that stuff is quickly forgotten as teams begin to focus on the immediacy of surviving the games coming up.

Report

First, a report by Tom Solopotias, as Australian Womens Team Coach, and then Arnie Piccoli’s report as Australian Mens Team Coach.

Women’s Draw

From the women’s perspective it was an engrossing and tightly fought contest. Three teams were entered;Australia, New Zealand elite and New Zealand u23’s. Both NZ teams played a similar style so for Australia it was like playing a standard and “high performance” version of the same team. This worked to our favour as we get more opportunities to try things out in the standard version before our next high performance encounter.

What makes the Trans Tasman so engaging is that Australia and NZ have very different game philosophies. NZ play a structure that changes depending on the game requirements and is designed to maximise numbers on the puck whilst also resting key positions in an unusual rotation cycle. Their game is quite confined and aims for depth as opposed to width. Australia on the other hand look to exploit space and bring players into the game in a far less structure way.
It made for great viewing. The style difference was plainly obvious, even to the untrained eye. You could see exactly who had the upper hand and exactly where the transition points were as the games ebbed and flowed between the 2 teams. The main distinguishing point was how well the NZ’s are drilled and understand what they should be doing at any moment. Once they have their recognised setup in place they milk it for all its worth and are a formidable opponent to break through.

When you watch Australians play you can distinguish the individual flair and skill that each player brings to the game and to each encounter. For NZ all their players seem to have the same sort of skills and use them in the same sort of situations. NZ are more concerned about maintaining a system and using it to grind opponents into submission.

The other big distinguishing feature about the NZ game, and they are the best at, is tacking frees. They come up with interesting variations that also have a high success rate. I explore different frees at every competition but have yet to produce one that is anywhere as effective as a NZ one. They are quite novel in their approach to frees, tending to stack areas that you don’t expect and work hard at isolating our defensive options. NZ are quality performers with a proven pedigree at the highest level. From a coaching perspective it was a valuable opportunity to take on one of the best teams around and use that experience as a building opportunity as we move towards Columbia 2011.

NZ also have a fantastic school program and introduce heaps of people to the sport. However, one of the comments the NZ throw at us all the time is that they have a young team largely due to the fact that they have an enormous attrition rate from the sport. Interestingly, Australia is the opposite where we have a poor introduction rate but keep players in the game for much longer. My guess is that the difference is about our playing philosophy in that the Australian game encourages a self expressive style, relying heavily on individuals to put there stamp on the game and make a difference at a personal level. If we could combine NZ development program with Australia’s way of playing, my guess is that underwater hockey will become our national sport by 2020.

Results

Prior to the comp I envisaged that we would do much better than we did. Our team was one of the strongest I’ve ever taken away and I thought that quality would carry us through. Add to this the advantage of having standard and high performance games, but in the end we did make hard work of it and largely because I misjudged a number of key issues.

Australia won the Trans Tasman on the back of 2 draws and one win (score 2:2, 3:2, 3:3). Both countries meet again in the final for the Auckland cup and it produced one of the most entertaining games I’ve ever seen. It was a bit like watching the World Cup except that the 40 days of cup viewing was compressed into a 40 minute time frame. For those who have followed the fortunes of the Australian Womens team over recent years you will have notices a distinct pattern in their finals encounters. They tend to be games that carry a lot of excitement, close encounters typified by final seconds gasping efforts. The games are ones that sway unpredictable, where players, coaches and officials all take turns in losing the plot, where the unexpected becomes the norm. The games hang by a thread, the result sits on a knifes edge, and in the end; Australia wins.

The final had a bit of every thing. Australia got off to a trademark blistering 4:1 lead as the 1st half drew to a close. I expected NZ to just role over and die but they just continued to claw their way back into the game. We made a few errors that led to 7 send outs, we gave away a penalty and we were forced to restructure our forward line. Eventually with 30 seconds left on the clock NZ finally got a deserving equaliser that took the game into extra time.
The break was just long enough for Australia to resettle and get back into a rhythm putting away 2 quick goals in a 3 minute period of the 1st extra time period. The 2nd extra time saw NZ come out on fire but could only mange a single late goal. A wonderful goal fest of a game with Australia winning 6:5.

Tom Solopotias,  Aust. Womens Team Coach

Australian Mens Team

After months of indecision by NZ, we finally got a date and finalised our teams only a month out. I decided to go with just 10 players as those preceding months played havoc with player plans and numbers. We had 2 new caps in the team, and given that I felt it was an interim year, it would be good to see those boys in the furnace of a solid round robin tournament without the usual breaks players get with a 12 man rotation. We arrived in Auckland to some reasonable weather and great accommodation organized by Lucy, the Australian Teams manager. On using the pool for the first time, I felt it was the best pool I had seen anywhere in the world; fast, 4 walls, 25 x15 m, and made for hockey. We had a good mix in the team, with experience, youth, and some solid all-round players. I planned on changing our game plan that we developed in the last Worlds to something I would like to take to the Columbia Worlds next year. We had 3 days as our on-the-spot camp to make some change ups before the comp started on the Tuesday. The schedule was tough with 3 games a day and 2 on the Friday to make a total of 11 games in 3 and a half days of play. That is as much game play as you would expect from a Worlds in 10 days let alone in 3 and a half days. This certainly tested the boys without a rotation and, in the end, may have cost them the chance to finish strongly in what showed to be a very strong comp. New Zealand fielded 3 teams: their national side made up of 12 young fit players, a Barbartions team made up of experienced players who were either too old to be in the first team or too lazy to do the work, and an U23 team who were the next best players behind the first team.

Our first game with NZ initially went well, with us being 3-1 up for most of the game, only to lose it in the final seconds 3-4 after a few guys got kicked out late in the game. Next were the Barbs, which followed a similar script, with us up 4-0 for most of the game then finishing 4-4 at full time. We then went on a scoring spree with the U23’s late in the day.

After the first day I was indifferent with the results, as I felt fitness late in those matches may well have determined the final scores. The next day, we were out pointed in the first game 4-0 and NZ deserved the win and the Trans Tasman trophy that went with it. But to the boys credit, they rebounded after that result to beat the Barbars 13-1, with a similar result in the U23’s. At this stage the players felt they where starting to get the change ups in play and the next morning we fought out a 3-3 draw with New Zealand. We then beat the Barbars and the 23’s, to have a good last day. The final question was whether 11 games would take their toll, and after beating the Barbars in a tough 7-6 win in the morning, it was then just up to the last game at 3pm that day.

The boys fed and slept well proir to the game and after a great start and many chances on the goal tray in the first half, we started to wane and they struck back, getting 2 late goals in that half to be in control. The second half started the same, with some great work to get the puck on to the tray. But with none of those chances being taken, it was then just a matter of time and the flood gates opened and they quickly took the match away from us and won 7/1. The scoreline was not flattering, but I am sure it will spur the team on to do the work and never let fitness get in the way of winning again. The new players saw how they will need to play at the elite level and the other things that they will need to do to make sure that in a tough tournament they will be the last men standing.

Looking ahead, we have 4 Australian players going to Columbia this month to play and to experience the country and facilities for next year’s Worlds. And with the addition of players who were not available for the Trans Tasman, we will have a hungry talented group to pick from to make the ultimate assault on the World title.
