Guess I'm still a kid at heart cause I'm looking at Hockey tables again.
Call me a heretic but I've never been a fan of the "Bubble" tables. Too much smash & bash for me.

Here's a few interesting tables that have caught my eye for those who are still wondering what to get me for Christmas.

Have a safe & happy Holidays everybody

I have a Stiga from Sweden (http://www.stigausa.com/) - about $100 from a Toronto store.   Fun, but not too robust.   Its a great little mini game, but after a few uses it needs news rods and a new playfield.   Not much to repair - but with shipping another $50 or so.  

If that upsized-tablehockey is any good - it would be worth it for reliability.    I have seen it about a year ago - and the few reviews seemed favorable.    

The foosball one with hockey sticks seems pretty lame to be truthful - I think a rod with sticks isn't too exciting artistically.

A brother-in-law has an old 1960's/70's steel table hockey - Leafs & Canadians.   He never uses it, but won't part with it

I had a Stiga knock-off from Sears...wasn't impressed with it. Thought about getting a true Stiga but was afraid that it wouldn't be much better.

I do like the Benej table a lot and would consider buying one... Trouble is trying to convince the wife on the merits of a $500 'kids toy' (Her words).... Hmmm 'kids toy', maybe I've been going about this all wrong. I should be asking my mom for one!

Go Chexx or Super Chexx, They can still be a great finesse game, By far the most reliable game you can get and Great Fun!!

Magnetic table look cool, like the no track surface, but I'm not sure about the gameplay.  

If you don't want a bubble or the chexx table, here people use Stiga  or old coleco table modified that supposed to be very good,  they're handmade or you can buy a kit to make it yourself around 200$

Personally, I will go for a chexx, bigger is better
