The mission of the World Table Hockey Association is to educate, preserve, develop and promote table hockey…one person, one community, one nation at a time!
That means the WTHA will promote all table hockey manufacturers, craftsmen, tournament organizers, players and more.
As such the WTHA is proud to promote, the 2019 STIGA Canada Cup Table Hockey Tournament to be held in downtown Toronto on Saturday, November 9th, 2019.
About the 2019 STIGA Canada Cup
The STIGA Canada Cup Table Hockey Tournament is designated a World Tour stop by the International Table Hockey Federation (ITHF). They hope to attract a lot of new participants and top players with medals, merchandise giveaways, and the promise of action-packed fun for everyone of all skill levels!
BONUS – if you have never played in a STIGA table hockey tournament or league, you will receive a world ranking! (see world rankings here)
Support to the 2019 STIGA Canada Cup
The organizers of the STIGA Canada Cup obtain their tournament quality games from Having Fun Yet (TM), “the Canadian home of STIGA Table Hockey and Replacement Parts.”
So, WTHA asks you to support those who support the Table Hockey community. So, to our Canadian readers, please make your STIGA Table Hockey Game purchases through Having Fun Yet or the WTHA’s Shop for Table Hockey (under construction) or other distributors who you know support the Table Hockey community versus those resellers who do not support Table Hockey fans, leagues or tournament organizers.
