Congrats to Dan Henner of the Syracuse Table Hockey League for winning the 2026 Chicago Coleco Open tournament. He defeated Chicago's Dan Lord 3-1 in the Best of 5 finals. Third place went to Jeff Farwell, a suburban Chicago table hockey player making his return to tournament play. (We'll get a pic of the winners up when they text some to us.)
The B Pool went to Paul Gasiecki of Glendale Heights, IL over Tom Kearns of Pittsburgh 3-0. Taking third was Ken Guzman, who traveled down from Detroit to play.
We had some folks unable to make it due to health reasons and work reasons, and a couple of us were battling family illness and a lost beloved dog who we said goodbye to earlier in the day. We pushed on and held the event anyway, and I'm glad we did.
We livestreamed one of the semi-final series and the finals, and those video posts are up on this page.
We'll be back at it with an expected 21 players on Saturday in less than 12 hours. We will livestream the playoffs through this page.
