It’s called Penny Hockey, Dime Hockey, or Finger Hockey, all of which your web search engine will return game rules and additional details.
My grandson wanted to make several of these to sell at an upcoming childrens craft fair. After he designed the game he wanted to make, he ran the bandsaw, the pin nail gun (both under strict supervision), peg assembly, and did the painting.
This provided us quality time in the shop together, and maybe, just maybe, I’ve created a new member to the woodworking community.
This project also provided an opportunity to use up some leftover oak flooring from a 4 or 5 year old project, and put it to good use.
Thanks for looking,

We made very similar looking “Penny Hockey Tables” in 7th grade woodshop. It wasn’t one of the standard required projects, but one the teacher would let you do if you got your other projects done.
For some reason, we used clear acrylic for the table and pan head screws for the post.
Yours looks 100x better
Great project and good fun!

I just love seeing stories like this. For years I tried to get my girls interested in woodworking, but they found other ways to go instead….one is a Quilter…the other watches TV!..Thanks for sharing your story

Cool game. It reminds me of a 2 hole micro golf course I threw together last year (because it’s small, not because it looks thrown together.) ;-)
