Greg is the founder of the World Table Hockey Association (WTHA), Table Hockey Show, and leadership team of the Hockey Time Machine Show https://www.youtube.com/@HTM3000-Hockey
He also staged one of the largest table hockey tournaments in the last decade held in Buffalo, New York. It boasted 64 players, five tournaments on three different manufacturer's games (Stiga, SoHo Pro and Classic, and SuperChexx AKA "bubble hockey"), with a Friday night social with guest appearance by Don Luce, Buffalo Sabres alumnus, and Adam Page, three time ParaOlympic Sled Hockey Champion.
All of which was made possible by the Buffalo-Niagara Sports Commission; Buffalo RiverWorks (venue); Innovative Concepts in Entertainment (ICE) makers of SuperChexx; Len Mecca, Rod Warriors Table Hockey; Carlo Bossio, Canada Table Hockey; and John Fayolle, Owner of SoHo Tournament Table Hockey games.
Greg founded the WTHA to help revive a dying industry, as numerous manufacturers have gone out of business over the decades, to promote table hockey as a competitive sport, and bring together the hockey community, which includes and is not limited to promoting all table hockey manufacturers, artists, craftsmen, event operators, players, collectors, and more.
All of which contributed to defining the WTHA's mission to “educate, develop, preserve and promote table hockey."
