Have any of you guys ever seen this type of table top hockey game and/or played it before?

It is like completely different from the game of Air Hockey cause it is much abstact (Kinda like foosball). And like Air Hockey, it is quickness, speed, strategy, stamina, etc. :)

If anyone has seen this or have played something like this then comment on this topic or something.

Thanks!
Paul :)

Seems like that is Bubble hockey without the bubble.

Dome/bubble hockey usually refers to the larger game that stands on a base, with foosball-like handles. Rod hockey (even with a dome) sits on a tabletop and has the thin rods controlling the men.

We sell a couple dome hockey games that are made in China, see

I understand that Mark. I know what you're saying but this is the one that I have played on and owned. On a side note, I have played the bubble hockey game (Carrom) w/Black Legs/Base, red and blue players and a electronic scoreboard. :-)

I have played that several times when i took part in air hockey torunaments in Eastern Europe. And there are other types of tables other than Stiga's.
If you like that, i have some contacts of table hockey associations in Czech Republic and Russia, and there are other countries where it is played.
