Carom tables in Canada?

Flyer said:
I bought it direct from Soren Soogard in Denmark and had it shipped overseas to Montreal and then freighted to PEI. Delivery was tricky but i had a friend with a loader get it off the truck and into my workshop. I had the best 3C table mechanic (YURA) come up from Jersey to properly install. It was very pricy but I've wanted one for almost 20 years after spending a year in the South of France learning to play 3C on Chevillottes at the Beziers Billiards club. I'm pretty sure it's the only proper carom table in Canada East of Montreal.

The other table is an older 4.5 X 9 Palason with Simonis 760. I'll probably replace that at some point with a Diamond or a Gold Crown.

If you're in NB and heading over to PEI any time get in touch if you want to play.

Congrats! Pricey worth it.

I paid Yura and three off-duty firemen to help with the slate on my Gabriels.

There used to be three carom tables at Le Skrtach in Laval....
..we actually had a Canadian -cushion championship there a few years ago.
...can't recall the winner...will find out.

...also one table at Le Skratch in Brossard.

We had Longoni ten footers in Toronto at three places...unheated.... but world class.
...also two Brunswicks.
...they're gone now.

Toronto has many nine footers at Vietnamese and Korean rooms...but no ten footers.
I would imagine Ottawa has a few also.
...but it's not as much fun playing on a nine foot...traffic patterns are different...
...and they tend to have slower cloth...so many standard shots don't work.

A few of us would love to have a world class heated billiard table....
...but hard to find a room that wants to give up the space.

Hi the best player and the one who won the tournament was from Argentina Jorge and I came in 2nd. Give up 9 ball to play with 3 cushion full time, long time ago.

The tables that were in La Skratch Laval are long gone. They reduced to one table like three years ago, and then removed the remaining one permanently. Can't blame them, the oldie crowd that played there refused to play on the table unless it was during the $5, play all day promotion time and then complain about that even. they didn't want to support the business. So there wasn't any incentive for the owners to keep it there, when they could make money off another pool or snooker table.

I hunted and never found another table in Montreal.

I heard that there was a guy that had put a Gabriels in his house, but could never get any contact info out of anyone.

You are absolutely right.
