Game Time: Candlepin For Kids (2004)

We've previously shown you some vintage candlepin bowling from Massachusetts. Today, the New England Sports Network (NESN) has a Saturday morning show, Candlepin For Kids, a weekly series that showcases the junior bowling program in New England.

Oh, I am begging someone to open a candlepin center in upstate New York. Anyway, check this out from 2013.



Now, ye scribe has some experience with "regular" ten pin bowling. I was in junior & adult leagues for about 40 years before I retired from league competition a few years ago. The junior programs here don't get the weekly TV deal that NESN has granted these talented kids. In fact, there isn't a weekly program for local bowlers here in New York anymore due to financial constraints.

If, however, someone has the cajones and the cash to start candlepin bowling here in the home district, I'm game.

Rating: A+.
