• Oro-Medonte resident, Jeff Bates, has created a hockey-themed tabletop game called "Shootout!" The game allows players to simulate a hockey shootout, complete with player cards and a miniature hockey rink. Bates was inspired to create the game after attending a hockey game and wanting to capture the excitement of a shootout.

• Bates has been working on the game for several years, refining the mechanics and design. He has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the production and distribution of the game. The campaign has a goal of $25,000 and has already received significant support from the local community and hockey fans.

• Bates hopes that "Shootout!" will allow hockey fans to experience the thrill of a shootout from the comfort of their own homes. He believes the game will appeal to a wide range of players, from casual fans to hardcore hockey enthusiasts. The game is designed to be easy to learn but challenging to master, providing a fun and engaging experience for players of all skill levels.
