It's a shame that the Canadian 9 ball tour didn't give expected support to the sponsors. Jimmy started something great that left a void out west when the sponsors didn't sign this year. I think most of the players here now are hiding in the casinos.

Gotta mention Brian Butler. Not world class, but he plays tourneys and cheap pool pretty good. I think he's living in NJ now. When he was living in Atlanta, he could hang with most top players, unless the bet got high

There are a lot of good 8 ball players on the box in canada. A top 5 list for that would change a lot. The top 9 ball players are pretty straight forward. I have been keeping track of my buddy stan tourangeau lately and he's been finishing very well in big 9-ball and 10-ball tournaments lately.He's always been good on the box though.
Hi!, Tom here, please tell me who "frenchie" is? and jesse and I have never been road partners. I think he is way to smart to take an egg like me on the road! and the only road trip (plane trip) I've made in the last 7 years is to las vegas. I'm on a very short leash!
Steve Cherewick (sp???) has had some excellent finishes in the US Bar Box championships (a 2nd and a 3rd in consecutive years iirc) ... can any of our Alberta friends comment on how Steve's doin' these days (last I heard Steve was in Calgary) ?

Funny you mentioned Steve.I played him at a mini tourney before the vnea singles event a few years ago.I did not have a clue who he was,so i'm thinking ah I can take him in a race to 4.WRONG 4-0.3 run-outs.lol.He is a very good player.DaveK said:

From what i heard from a few players, it looks like the state of pool in calgary is slowly dwindling. 8 ball players still have the league and various weekly tourneys to join, but, 9 ball players have not much to go to.
It would be great to get together sometime and play a few friendly matches. I chatted with pete sky and looks like the hideout is d place many players frequent. I would assume that JR's is also a popular place. I have not been to Q's but heard that it is a great place to go. Unfortunately, i live all the way at the NW where almost no good poolhalls exist. The closest to me is Mike's billiards; even here there was a few fights that broke off within the young crowd.
take care and happy new year!
I have beat a few on that list. They mostly play at the hideout so I don't get to play many. I just lost to P.J 11-9, 11-8. He ran 8 or 9 tables... Cant remember how many I had, 5 or 6 I think.jimmy-leggs said:
