Underwater hockey is played with a three pound puck.

First off, how do you know that? You hate hockey. Second, who plays underwater hockey? How do you skate?

I don't hate hockey, I actually enjoy it sometimes. As for how I know that, you'll always wish you knew. No one plays underwater hockey; that's why this is the RANDOM FACT THREAD!

Obviously someone plays it, otherwise they wouldn't have a three pound puck.

[Lucmeister]

you can use a heavy puck to train, so that a regular puck then seems very light, which results in harder shots.

Fact: Underwater hockey sucks.

The longest one-syllable word in the English language is "screeched."

Actually, it's tied with "strengths." And strengths only has one vowel in 9 letters, which makes it way cooler.
