Hard to believe it has been 7 years since my last bubble hockey participation. With the Winter Classic being held here in the St. Louis area, Coors Light has teamed up with Hot Shots Sprots Bar and Grill to hold bubble hockey tournaments around our local establishments. Was not planning on participating but when i received a call from a fellow bubbler I jumped at the chance to get back in the saddle and play some bubble. Many new faces who seemed to have the look in the eyes that they have an enjoyment for the game, knew the rules (though the person running the show could use some training); and great to see some former local foes in the likes of Brian Tracy, Jim Black, Ben Knoll, Tom Ruzcicka having participated in these events and all who are oving on to the finals with a chance to win tickets to the Winter Classic Game.
It was like riding a bike, a little nerve racking at first having not played in such a long time but after a 3-0 victory in game 1 and a 7-2 victory in game 2, it gave Ben and myself a bye to the finals which led to facing none other than local favorite Brian Tracy and his partner. They took us 2-1 to win the Winter Classic hoodies but we are both in the finals. Glad to be back in the bubble to some extent anyway.
