Watch your child learn to play table hockey like a pro! Table hockey is a tabletop version of a real ice hockey game. The game is both educational and fun for kids. It improves hand-eye coordination as they control the puck and moves players on the table and strategic thinking as they plan moves and aim for the opponent's goal. As our head coach, Dr. Raffery, the #2-ranked table hockey player in the USA, says, "It's like playing chess at 700 mph!"
