Gockey Is….


 

 A dynamic, fun filled, fast paced competitive sport, which combines the attributes of golf, hockey and squash.

Playing Gockey encourages skills development and allows for physical interaction with no body contact.  Participants play at their own desired level of intensity, and Gockey is ideally suited for any recreational environment.  Gockey is the newest Game Table in the world offering all players an equal playing field, providing year round entertainment.  Gockey engages players of all ages in a physical yet safe interactive sport.
 

Points of Interest:

• Gockey is incredibly durable, yet dismantles easily for storage or transport.
• Gockey offers a high level of participation for both players and spectators.
• Television however meaningful, acts as an entertainer, Gockey provides the opportunity for participants to entertain themselves.
• Gockey Game Tables are the safe indoor version of Hockey.  As players react to the quick motion of the Gockey ball, they develop hand-eye coordination.

Gockey was a tremendous hit at our Major Roller Blade Hockey Tournaments. “Gockey was Huge”, kids lined up for hours to play against one another. Gockey really is an awesome sport game and should be found in all arena’s and recreation facilities.

Gockey has been a great addition to our games room. The kids have been playing it non-stop. It’s a game that is really being enjoyed by all ages at our club [Including the staff]. It not only builds hand/eye coordination but also really lets you build up a sweat. It’s a whole lot of fun too. Any youth recreational organization can’t go wrong in having one.”

Gockey is a super sport game for the summer camping experience. Kids and counselors love playing Gockey every chance they get. At twin Oaks we even have our own Gockey tent, which contains four Gockey game tables. Gockey is a daily recreational activity for our children. Next summer we plan to have Gockey trophy’s for our Gockey Champions. Gockey is also a great time occupier and I personally recommend this game to my colleagues in the camping environment.
