The faster the game, the more fun it is. There are several ways to prepare the ice surface and speed up the game:

• Potato Flour Spread a thin layer of potato flour over the ice surface, sweeping it around with a soft brush. Then vacuum up the remains. Potato flour is as slippery as ice so make sure you also vacuum it up from the floor if any spills. Potato flour is available at most health-food stores.
• Wax An evenly applied coat of wax on the ice surface will make the game play faster. Don’t forget to buff well. You can choose floor wax, furniture wax or car wax but make sure it doesn’t contain any abrasives which may scratch the ice surface. We use Butcher’s Wax and it works great.
• Lubricating Sprays Many players have used spray lubricants such as Endust or furniture polish. You can also use silicone spray lubricant or Armor All. Using these sprays can get a bit messy, so you will want to wipe up the excess carefully and perhaps spray over newspaper or outdoors. It’s a good idea to remove the goals and players off the ice before applying. And don’t forget to treat the puck also!

It can be frustrating when you score a goal and then the puck does an about face! A clever way to prevent the puck from popping out of the goal is to hang small metal chains from the crossbar. Now you get a cool jingling sound when you score and the puck stays put in the goal.

Playing your STIGA game on the rug with your kids can be fun and intimate! But it can also be uncomfortable. Playing the game on a table at chest height is the ideal positioning for playing table hockey. It will save strain on your back and will also give you a better overview of the game. You should position your chair back far enough that the rods just touch your stomach when they are fully extended out. Sitting too close will hamper your ability to properly maneuver the rods. Proper positioning will allow you to play the game to your fullest and can be the difference between winning and losing.

STIGA has produced a series of ‘Tips and Tricks’ for play on the STIGA hockey table games. The YouTube series features Swedish Hockey All Star Peter Forsberg describing super cool moves you can try for yourself. Check out all 6 videos at the STIGA YouTube page!

We use a third party shipper that offers great rates from Fed Ex, Purolator, Canpar and UPS. You can choose the option that best suits you.

We get the orders out within a day or two of the order being placed. During the holiday period, it may be 2 or 3 days, but we do work hard to ensure the order goes out quickly. Once the package has shipped, timing depends on where you are in Canada. The Fed Ex website has a ship guide that you may find helpful. We are in Newmarket, just north of Toronto. It has been our experience that shipments to Southern Ontario usually take 1 day; Vancouver may be 4 or 5 business days. Allow a few more days for Newfoundland or the Territories.

Depending on where you are located in Canada the package can take between 2-10 business days to arrive. If you have not received your package in due time, please contact us and we will be happy to assist with locating the package.

Our website will not allow you to enter a billing address outside of Canada, but we can process a foreign credit card from our office. Please call us at 1-800-872-2453 to process your order.

STIGA recently changed their design and are gradually changing each of the teams to the new design. The differences are: the goalie in the new design is slightly larger, the stick is positioned more to the front of the player and the player’s elbow is higher.

Both types of players will work just fine on your game. We have heard from avid players and some prefer the old, some prefer the new. We will only have one style available for each team, but we will list whether the style is ‘new design’ or ‘old design’ so you will know what you are ordering.

STIGA decides which jersey they are going to produce with each run they manufacture. We do not know what colour the jersey will be until our stock arrives to our warehouse. If we receive a new colour, we will list both colours on our website as long as we have stock for both.

STIGA has put together a YouTube Video demonstrating how to change your rods. Check it out!
