-It was a FANTASTIC day at the Big House on Madison today! Lots of
kids and ole timers loving the Table Hockey games. The kids were
literaly havning fron the glass. A couple of them we had to peel off
lol.
Super hospitable Blackhawks staff gave us that real good feel as
they were happy to accomodate us and i was asured we will be back at
the United Center soon!
Thank you to the LTHL players who played Stiga week #5. John Medema,
Joe Salazar, Peter Basdeckis, Eric Krol, Ventura Sias and his son.
The fans got to see real Stiga league in action today.
The center peice of the day was the BEAT THE COLECO U.S. OPEN CHAMP
BOB INGO best of seven series vs myself as the Challenger. We had a
good crowd around the tables all day today and when the Coleco puck
dropped at noon Bob Ingo showed everyone what hes made of once again
winning the series 4 games - 2 as the stadium fog horn and organ was
echoing thru the concorse. Bob won 2 of those games with clutch
overtime goals and super goaltending which is becoming his trademark.
Table Hockey made alot of people happy today at the United Center. I
dont know what more to say other than Real Good Feel Good days like
today are what keep me going strong! We will get some pictures of
this day up here tomorrow/next day. Thanks Again for all of you that
played on our games today.

Grateful
Jim Rzonca
Lemont Table Hockey League
