The Irving Kaye Super Hockey is part of the Irving Kaye Hockey game line that includes the larger “Super Jumbo Hockey” and the “Stanley Cup Hockey” games. The Super Hockey is built on a smaller footprint than the Jumbo and Stanley Cup models.
We see the 6′ Super Hockey first mentioned in Irving Kaye ads in November 1958. These tables appear to be built on the same cabinet as the early 50’s pool tables and Bumper Pool tables with their side-bolted legs.
The Super Hockey was Touted in advertisements as “The fastest game on ice”. It’s doubtful Irving Kaye licensed the Stanley Cup name from the NHL as there are no NHL logos on the table. But it does have the names Blackhawks and Rangers on the top. These teams were both part of the “Original 6” teams in the NHL, but have never faced each other in a Stanley Cup final.
The video below shows the American Pickers finding an “Irving Kaye Stanley Cup” and consulting a pinball expert that valued the game at $350. The producers contacted us to learn more about the machine.
