The Making of a Christmas Present

Authentic Replicas of the First EverTabletop Hockey Game

The Original Munroe Hockey Game

Some Background ....In 1936, a fellow in Toronto patented his

original version of a table top hockey game. He built them in his basement, using wood as the prime material.

In the early 40’s, the game was sold through the Eaton's Catalogue for the grand sum of $4.95.

Today, any remaining games are truly antiques.

The games I built, with the help of plans from Lee Valley, are true replicas of the originals.

I built two games, to be shared by our four grandsons and their Dads.
