OK, we're going to need some weaker players to join up.

In spite of all my bluster and good intentions over the summer, I am so out of practice it verges on comical to watch me. I'm as helpless as a kitten in a tree. Come on down and kick my arse! Easy ranking points!

19 ? personnally I think it's very sad !
We should be easy 30 players. Our team work hard to get a nice Sponsors and organized the kids event that I fill 25 players in 1 week and could be 50 easy... See this next year mouahhahah !

As we can see, we lost a huge interest in Table Hockey in North America.

Guys, take a moment and call some friends and see if you can made it, this is a major event and we should get togheter and have fun like we use to have ! Support the effort of the organizers you just have to show up and have fun. It's not like it's very expensive !

I hope to see more of you !

We will have a STIGA soccer table From RMG in demonstration as well !
