The owners of the ABA have announced that they will be entering into the world of hockey. They plan to launch the TTHL. The Table Top Hockey League will consist of 12 teams of one person each. Games will be played in the league CEO's kitchen. All that is needed is the game itself, 2 chairs and a few pucks. If you recall the excitement and family affordable entertainment of table top hockey of the 70's, this new league will be fast paced high energy action. Even if you have an original table top game from the 70's, it will work perfectly as long as you grease your rods now and then. No records will be kept, no one will know who won or lost, the website will be idle for months at a time, and to break even financially, an attendance of 1 will suffice. Bill Corona will be on hand between periods to sing Archies songs, do sound effects from Disney movies, and maybe a hand puppet will come into play.
The only way games will be cancelled is if the puck jumps off of the game surface, and lands under really heavy furniture, and is unaccessable by broomstick. In lieu of a dance team and rap concerts, they will have Air Supply and ABBA cassettes playing in the background. Since the ABA is in the business of pulling their own collective rods, this venture seems to fit like hand in shoe. Hopefully, within a few months, they will expand to well over 300 teams. The only qualification required is the ability to pull rods back and forth. Teams will be disqualified from competition for 2 reasons......they are given the wrong address to the kitchen arena, or they have a cast on their right hand. ( in which case, that will make for some long, lonely weekends!! )
More details to follow.
