Hi John,

That's great news!!! I look forward to seeing you again as well.

Are you going to be making the trip in the morning of the tournament or coming in on Friday?

I'll be leaving Friday night, probably, and stay overnight in southern Michigan. From there I will depart around 6 or 7 am and should arrive around 10 - 10-30 in Detroit.

We have one month to go before rounding out the field.....We will announce the next 4 players later in the week.....

Don't wait the field is filling up for the last event in the 2006-2007 USTHA/CTHA season.....

Look for a few Hall of Fame names......

Any update on the next four entrants?

The field for the 1st Hockeytown Battle has just become much tougher...
We have added several Hall of Fame players to the event, a one-time DTHL league night winner, and the President....

11. Ivan Sanislo - The Master
12. Sidney Stutz - this is Sidney's first tournament in awhile, but he was the driving force for Table Hockey in the 1970's and 1980's... All of the table hockey community should be glad to see him back in action, except those that have to play againist him....
13. Pat Armstrong - 1-Time DTHL League night Champion....
14. Ron Marsik - it has been 24 years since Ron's last visit to Detroit for a table hockey event.
15. Eric Krol - The USTHA President in-person....

We only have 5 spots left...The field is getting better each day...last tournament of the year....

I appreciate that, but I'm about 50-50. Will let you know in plenty of time so someone else can take the spot.

Congrats on your success drawing so far.

This will be a big stepping stone in Michigan table hockey history like the DTHL season has already accomplished. I am sad that I cannot come home to take part in this great event, ...but if I have it my way,...I'll be there?!

Paul

If you make it we will find a spot for you and your son.....

We now have 16 signed-up Kyle Koeing (Rookie) signed the other day, he is also going to the US Open so this will be good expereince for him......

Eric K is going to Montreal and is 50/50 for the Battle, but he will find away. His honey-do list will become very tough....

We did bump the number of players we can have to 20, thanks to the games you are sending us....

We need some people from Windsor or Southern Ont.

Go Wings.............................

That's what it looks like on Table hockey Tavern, but the link given doesn't work. It turns into a post on the message boards instead of an email. I sent the address to him.

It's killing me, really wish I could be back home in the Motor City for this!

Paul, and Tim, ....I hope those games work out good for you,...they have some history behind them as well as I have mentioned in previous conversations on the phone.

Paul W.,

I wish you could be there as well. I was looking forward to meeting you in person.

Best wishes.

I will post the 18 names later this week and hopefully the missing two...The President is playing......Steve makes a return to Detroit...sorry right now only two Pauls, Mr Wright you still have time........

Jim Rzonca you can make the one day trip with John and Ron.....

If the Red Wings pull it out of the fire on time, this event could co-incide with a tremendous-looking Stanley Cup final.

I'd like to drive down for it, only I can't really swing it. Mutek is on in Montreal, and I haven't figure out how to bilocate just yet.

Good luck!

It is about a 9 to 10 hour drive from Ottawa....A couple of us are planning to come up to Gatineau in October, just wish gas wasn't worth more then gold right now.......Maybe you can hitch a ride with Bernie coming out of Kitchener....
