In this space I would like to talk a little bit about the history of the league. I will also be posting stories and information about the league nights.
I
first played bubble hockey in my home town hockey rink as
most of us had. At the time I immediately fell in love with
the game . Only drawback was the expense of playing (50
cents) it was a lot for a young lad to cough up faced with the dilema
of buying some fried bread dough or play a game of bubble hockey.
Anyways
at that time in the back of my head I thought it would
be cool to own one but never thought I would.
Fast
forward to a few years ago when I started collecting
all things coin-op. I came across one in a local
wharehouse which was for sale but at the time I had no desire to pick
one up mainly because you need 2 to play.
Recently
during a daily reading of RGP I came across a thread
where some one had just added one to their gameroom which sparked the
interest in me. After searching for a few weeks I found one
to buy. I then bought a bunch of replacement parts such as
the dome and the playing surface to make it look and play as new as
possible.
I then decided to throw my first bubble hockey tournament. Anyways it went so well and everyone had such a good time. We decided to start a league located at Sov's Bar-Cade called the NNYBHL. We will be meeting atleast once a month and will be posting all the stats here and hope to get involved in other tournaments and leagues on a national level!
