Help Us Update Our Bar/Pub and Playing Venue Pages

We're asking for your help in updating some of our pages that list venues to play darts. In case you weren't aware, these pages have literally steered hundreds, if not thousands of folks looking for a game to venues across southern Ontario. From the famous outside of darts, 3-time NBA All-Star Bill Laimbeer, to the famous in darts Roland Scholten, these pages are the quiet ambassadors of southern Ontario darts. Look at the navigation bar above, pick your city, and let us know what needs to be updated. Let's all work together on this.

The Big Push For Darts in Canada

We've just started a new Facebook page called: The Big Push For Darts in Canada.

If you have a Facebook page we would like you to join. Our goal is to get 5,000 folks to join so we can create a lobby group to improve darts in this country. Apart from having darts declared a spot, something the NDFC has been behind for a couple of years now, let's get more people out playing.

This is an important subject for every dart player in this country. With venues closing down and fewer and fewer dart players in the big cities, we're going to have to make an effort to keep this sport alive and grow it.

So let's start the discussion at the grassroots and start by getting enough players who care about the sport to show their hands and join this group.

Perfect 9-Dart Game Thrown at the Quebec Provincials!

We just got word from Francois Tremblay, a provincially-ranked player in Quebec, that he has just thrown a 9-darter in the Quebec Provincials this past weekend. This is a rare feat in not just for Canada but anywhere in the world of darts. Francois threw 180-180-141 for his first perfect game in the preliminary rounds. For those of you wondering how the final 3 darts were thrown: T20, T19, D12. Click on the link below to see a photo of the Chicoutimi native. (Note: The link is to a French-language website).

We've had our first taker on our offer to donate $100 from the sale of each DartMaster 3 sold to Youth Dart groups in Ontario. Thanks to Brent Wohlgemuth of Massey, Ontario.

Bill Laimbeer - 4-Time NBA All-Star Visits a Toronto Darts Singles Shoot !

When you advertise on the web that you're running a singles shoot and invite people to drop in, you just never know who might show up.

We had a visit recently from 4-time NBA All-Star and current Minnesota Timberwolves coach Bill Laimbeer.

We were surprised to find one of the original "Bad Boys" of basketball has a soft spot for darts, and likes to find a good game while on the road.

Here he is posing with one of our Monday players, Alan Tremaine, at the Ferret & Firkin.

Grand Slam of Darts Update - Biggest Ever Win for a Lady Dart Player in a Televised Tournament

Hmmm, we wonder if there would be any interest in a match between current Queen of the Hill Debralee Roberts and King of the Hill Bernie Miller? Click to read the article »»»
