I'd at least take a look. I've never played it, and I suck at foosball, so not sure I would have any desire to try to participate in anything other than Noobs vs. Noobs.

I actually run a league with buddies of mine on old Munro table top hockey games, if you were closer I would definitely be interested.

I love my super chexx and have loved playing bubble hockey anywhere in the wild since I was a kid. I would eagerly participate in any bubble hockey tournament at a pinball event I was at!

I think it's that bubble hockey as not aged well....I still play with my kids after there hockey games but that's about it....after a game or two it's meh....I go to pinball tourneys to play pinball....but good luck and I hope it works out for you..........Joey

I just ordered two custom painted team sets for mine as well as some new gear boxes. Shipping, why not save some money and go right to the factory myself. ICE is about a 25 minute drive from my house. I know a worker there and every time I go, I take the factory floor tour. The place is amazing with all the games and redemption machines they pump out. The Bubble Hockey section is very impressive. At Christmas time, they need to make about 20 to 30 chexx machines a day to keep up with the orders. They are stock piling right now.image.jpg

^^^.....buddy of mine used to work there.....most fun I had playing BH was at a Sabres game got to go in the suites....playing hockey while watching hockey....good stuff..............Joey

And people complain that there's no innovation in pinball! 31 years later and they're still pretty much identical to the original. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

(I've owned an original example since '86!)

As for the tournament scene, you might want to look into doing something at CAX, too. There was a Super Chexx there that there was always a line for and that place is known for having all kinds of tournaments on all kinds of games.

We had one at one of the tournaments I attended in my league and Truly loved it. I have one at my house and no fun cause you can't play alone. I live the challenge and even one the tournament that day during our pin tournament. I could play bubble hockey all day but hard on the lower back. I think every game room should have one. There just pure fun.

I used to play in the budwieser bubble boys tournaments went to the finals ! in philly . I used to own two tables ! very rarely do I see these out in public anymore

I would love to play in a tourney. Love my Super Chexx.....Wild vs Red Wings in mine.

I would be in! Have to say that gauging interest on a pinball forum site is probably not the best way to go. I would assume you're also posting on other sites (i.e. arcade, video game etc.)?

When I was a kid, I used to play the table top lever hockey game all the time. I could beat anyone in that game. When bubble hockey came out, it was great, but I could never work that game like the table top version. So my affinity is for the good ole original, but Super Chexx hockey is really cool and fun.

That said, I'm not sure how it would translate into a pinball show though. There's so much going on with pinball tournaments and special guest speakers, it might be tough to slip in a bubble hockey tourney too. In the end, if the demand was there...

Good luck with this and please let us, that cant make it, know how it turns out!!
