Everything Candlepin

What’s your favorite Pro Series alley that you have bowled at and why?
My favorite Pro Series alley would have to be Pilgrim Lanes.  Best alleys anywhere to host and watch a tournament.

What’s your favorite Pro Series format and why?
My favorite Pro Series tournament is a little tougher.  The biggest reason why the Pro Series have put a revitalization into tournament bowling is the variety of events.  The most fun to watch though is probably the Random Draw doubles.  That tournament gives you an opportunity to pair up with someone you would normally not have a chance to.

Most memorable Pro Series moment?
My most memorable Pro Series moment would have to be watching Scott Lapierre’s 207 in the championship match against Shawn McKinley in the Ultimate Ladder at New Palace Lanes last year.  It’s hard enough to bowl a 200 and hard to win a tournament but when you put the 2 together it’s just unbelievable.

Best match you’ve been involved in outside the Pro Series?
I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of quite a few good matches but my favorite match is probably a Friday Night Pro League playoff match.  It was my first year with Candlewood (Chris Boisvert, myself, Steve Plante, Eric Pelletier, and Jeff Surette).  We finished 4th in the regular season and had to bowl the league champions in the 1st round at Metro which was St. Joseph’s ([Shawn] Baker, [Cookie] Richards, [Bill] Treeful, [Gary] Carrington, and Sarge).  We were down about 150 pins around the middle of the 2nd string of a 3-string match.  Chris Boisvert ignites us with a triple strike and we slowly chip away the rest of the match until we pull close to even with 2 boxes for everyone to go.  We go back and forth the last 2 boxes and Jeff marks out his last 2 boxes to give us the victory.
