Kelly CohaneHeight: 5' 5" Weight: N/A Age: 51 Town: Peabody, MA College: Salem State College |
Player Profile Kelly Cohane works hard to be the best shuffleboard player she can be. She is above average in talent and is a nice compliment to her teammate Bombs. She has a powerful shot that is capable of creating big defensive plays. However, she has some discliplinary issues that need to be resolved. She was second in warnings in 2011.

Bombs McCarthyHeight: 5' 4" Weight: N/A Age: 50 Town: Beverly, MA College: Salem State College |
Player Profile Bombs is a dominating force on her team. She has good accuracy that is complemented with a strong shot. She also was honored in 2011 by being named to the Second Team All New Smyrna. Judging from her husband Steve and her son Tim, shuffleboard talent clearly runs in the McCarthy family. Bombs could potentially be a big threat in 2012.

Gramps CohaneHeight: 5' 7" Weight: 150 Age: 85 Town: Peabody, MA College: Boston University |
Player Profile Gramps is the oldest player in the tournament, but his age certaintly doesn't show as he brings a strong accurate shot and an extremely good attitude to the court. His positive attitude is infectious among both the other teams and the fans. He also works very well with his teammate Kathleen.

Kathleen ChuniasHeight: 5' 2" Weight: N/A Age: 53 Town: Topsfield, MA College: Babson College |

She shows a serious amount of promise and played incredibly well last year. She played well enough in fact to earn herself a spot on the Second Team All New Smyrna. Look for her to develop into a talent capable of becoming a household name.

George ChuniasHeight: 5' 11" Weight: 245 Age: 21 Town: Topsfield, MA Education: Boston College |
Player Profile George Chunias is the comissioner of the New Smyrna Beach Shuffleboard Invitational. He does pretty much anything and everything for the tournament. After being appointed to quickly throw together the first tournament in 2010, he ran with the idea and made an extravagant tournament in 2011. He expanded the tournament to eight teams, designed uniforms, set up a bracket, and created this website. He has even bigger ideas for the 2012 tournament, which should be the best of the three Invitationals by far.
