Editorial Reviews:

All players are 3-dimensional and wear the uniforms of two major teams. The teams have been added extra strength as in that the talent scouts have succeeded in recruiting two right-grip marksmen. Together with a left forward that can get back behind the opponents’ goal in “the Gretzky position” and a center forward that can go back into his own zone to build up the attack, there are all the prerequisites for taking your playing standard to new heights. Puck ejectors, plexi shields behind the net and goal counters go without saying in Stanley Cup.

Summary: Not like the 1st ones made in the '70's
Comment: I'm not busting on the game but...the top needed to be secured better with glue. The players sticks are too thin that sometimes the shot goes right over the puck...these misgivings were all "tweaked" by gluing the top down better as previously mentioned and by adding pieces of plastic onto the business end of the sticks with epozy so that better contact was made with the puck.
Also, the pucks of old had a small ball bearing held within a hard plastin outter ring. You could maneuver that puck much, much better.
All in all though, my grandkids have left the video games and are now becoming hockey legions. A great, fast moving game. Provides much happiness.

Summary: Great "old - fashioned" fun!
Comment: Bought this item as a gift for my 9-year old grandson. Don't know who had more fun........the boy, his siblings, his father and/or grandfather. It was so "heartwarming" to see them all so excited about a gift that didn't need batteries or need to be hooked up to a computer or tv to use and enjoy. Guests on Christmas also had interesting comments/memories of playing the game as kids themselves. Great "old-fashioned" fun! Would recommend it as a gift for all ages. Thanks for promoting a quality product and providing timely delivery for the holiday.

Summary: Sweet
Comment: I was a little skeptical at first because I wasn't sure if it could handle my brother's hard play but so far so good. It was probably his favorite x-mas gift this year.

Summary: Great Hockey Fun!
Comment: I ordered the Stiga hockey table as a surprise Christmas gift for my 2 sons, ages 15 and 23. They both think it's really cool and fun to play with, even in this age when video games rule! This table-top hockey table is very sturdy, and just the right size. The design of the table and players is very realistic, and you can even replace the teams that come with the table (the Red Wings and Maple Leafs) with your favorite teams (sold online). I highly recommend the Stiga hockey table as a family game for anyone (and not just hockey fans).

Summary: Excellent Product with Great Nostalgic Value
Comment: As a kid, I remember receiving the old, 2d version of this "rod-hockey" game. It was the Flyers vs the Rangers. It consisted of a similar platform, but the players were just flat, black plastic with stickers! The game was so vintage that the goalies still wore the Jason Vorhees goalie masks (or should I say the "Bernie Parent" mask), and the players didn't even wear helmets. Everybody should have had a #8 on their Jersey in the style of Brad Marsh!!! Anyway...eventually Sportcraft came along and put this very same 3d version of the game, and ultimately dveloped a few variants on it. For example, some didn't allow for passing the puck behind the net until tthey came up with the hinged rod (on a universal joint) that let's you set up passes to the slot from behind the net! I remember one of our teachers in Jr. High School - Mr. Stern - set up a table hockey league and the winner's got to keep the game at the end of the year! I personally went through about 4 of these as a teenager...just playing them so much that the components wore down.
I don't know who "Stiga" is as a manufacturer. They are apparently a European group that manufactures sledding gear and so on. Whatever their gig...they did a great job with the specs on this table hockey game. The rods slide smoothly. The gears don't mesh. The players rest level on their pegs so that their sticks don't scrape the ice. The "glass" behind the nets helps to keep quite a few stray wrist shots from flying across the room.
For anybody who always wanted (but couldn't afford or didn't have room for) a classic arcade version of Chexx (aka "Bubble Hockey"), then this is the ideal alternate for you. It's well worth every penny...and I am certain my son and I will get plenty of games in on this puppy before we wear it out. Seemingly even more so than the old Sportcraft version. Thanks to you, Stiga, for keeping this one available to us!
