Video

its hilarious to me that the camera man that was supposed to be covering the pins was pointing at lane 4, a lane they did not use in the previous show, for the first box. what a dummy

"Let's take a look at that new Pontiac Fiero from McPhee Pontiac" 4:38

I remember watching this on vhs from Tony white when i was in highschool haha.I believe he had the old recording with his duo at one point but it might now be lost

Those seemingly new pins are beautiful and evil all at once. Slaunwhite bowled far better than 109 would indicate!

I know Mari Jo; she’s bar-none very nice. Not to mention an excellent bowler too.

When was this

I'm a Boston guy but my mom was born and raised in Wolfville. I'm so glad the Maritimes have candlepins like we do.

When was this game played?

The number shapes in the lane numbers were tudor numbers.

'promosm' 💞

Wow, those are some very broken-in pins! Great program - thanks for uploadin'.

😂 2, 2, -. Nice frame! 15:16

Lots of fun

Where's the third string?

Re the comment at 12:28 about most people who love to be able to worlds. lol yes same please take me XD

Foul line violation on the the red shirt guy

44:39 Triple Strike for Gary Carrington!!! :D

This is awesome

Looks like Atlantic Canada vs New England matchup as some of USA's top Candlepin Bowlers like Joe Ashline and Peter Flynn are in it. Too bad Paul Berger, Dick O'Connell, Tom Morgan, Mike Morgan, and Tom Olszta were not in it.

Thank You for posting these matches.

I was surprised that Rick Martin struggled in the Semifinals as he's usually one of the most consistent top ranked Candlepin Bowlers back in the 1990s.

44:10 was epic !!!

Greetings from Rhode Island. Nice to see these Canadian broadcasts. I have to say Barry Soward is to Canada as Tom Olszta is to the States. Olszta averaged over 130 in the 1990s, and threw many a 400 triple on TV here. BMP

Are we going to see episode 40???

I believe that is actually Sharon MacNamara

Some of the greats in their primes -- outstanding!

Thanks a lot Sean for posting this 👍👍❤

Oh btw, I hope you have the next week with Rossi Tofflemire and Doug Blackler! :)

I love the camaraderie of the announcers. I wish i had met these men in my bowling career. The sense of humour is timeless. Somethings about bowling never change! Also, the classic conversion of the spread eagle. amazing.

LOL at 27:06....that guy's got an 'Austin 3:16' golf tee on. XD

What an amazing "Spread Eagle Spare" from Frank Robichaud Sr. at 7:43. If he was on "Candlepin Bowling - Stars and Strikes" or "Candlepin Bowling with Don Gillis", he would have gave Tom Olszta, Joe Ashline, or Paul Berger a run for their money.

7:43 For candlepin bowling in the Maritimes, a RARE shot to see made on TV! O.O

Ray, Miller, Ashline, Carrington, Flynn - classic lineup! BMP

Did they say Joe Ashline, Gary Carrington, and Peter Flynn? Have Tom Olszta, Dave Richards, Paul Berger, and Tim Lipke been in the mix, they would have been a dangerous team. This tournament must have been a Candlepin World Championships.

The Massachusetts team is Marjam Supply just for information purposes

Tried that once many years ago while in NB for a job interview. Crazy difficult for a couple of 180+ average bowlers from Ontario but never had so much fun. I'll have to go back and try it again. 😂❤

All the birds woke up when I played this. Can you cut the gain?

Doug Blackler and Rick Martin were two of Atlantic Canada's best Candlepin Bowling Spare Shooters.

These are great, thank you for sharing!

They would do better if they rolled the ball instead of dropping it.

At 18:20, what an amazing "High Low Jack" Spare/10 Conversion there. If the Candlepin Bowling show was still on in the Boston Area, he would win the "High Low Jack" Jackpot. Don Gillis, a Nova Scotian whom made a name for himself in Boston as a host and sportscaster, would be amazed.

Why don't these first two bowlers bend a little and roll the ball instead of dropping the ball on the lane?

Where is the end of the match?

Rick Martin was one of Candlepin Bowling's best "spare shooters". Rick Martin and Kansas Snow are Nova Scotia's version of Tom Olszta and Paul Berger, two Candlepin Bowling legends from the New England States. That string must be close to Rick's high single.

I seen Chris Hollett working at the Halifax Fairlanes one day in 1998. It was also a day that my ex-girlfriend, Danielle, and I had a nasty breakup, but it was the best thing it ever happened to me.

Sean, with the help of the Telegraph Journal Digital Archive, I've been able to determine what date this bowling broadcast aired. It was on Saturday, December 12, 1987. If it's possible, could you please add the date to the video title above?

Sean, this is a really awesome find that you brought here to CZcams. I love the fact that ATV's 'Number 7' era of candlepin bowling is now here, and I thank you for uploading this! =) But with that thanks, comes a question. In this clip, there was a commercial talking about the 1987 Christmas Daddies telethon having ended by this point, and it led me to think about trying to track down a specific date this was broadcast. It's prompted me to ask the following 2 questions....A] was this the only thing that was on the tape you found, and B] if not, do you know of anything else that would have been on it? In any event, thanks for reading my post/queries.

I love these old clips

This is awesome seeing Douthwright on here

Thanks for uploading these Sean. Keep em coming!
