Dom's e-story: A Place for Opportunity

Dom Poggi

When Dominic Poggi moved to Evansville, he knew that something was missing… something never-before-seen in the Region… something that pairs flippers and pucks… You guessed it! Underwater Hockey! 

Yes, it’s a real thing! 

Picture this: a team of players, donned in wetsuits and flippers, gliding effortlessly through the underwater arena at the Deaconess Aquatic Center. The Evansville Penguins are more than just a sports team; they're a school of fish, a pod of porpoises, a team of turtles, a parade of penguins, if you will! Their synchronized movements and uncanny teamwork are a sight to behold. It's like watching a ballet, but underwater, and with pucks!

Dom knew that he could make his underwater penguin dreams a reality in Evansville because of the endless support available in the community.
