The fan that you will get will not be a plug-in-to-the-wall type deal, you will have to wire it with an extension cord or something else to get it to work.
you need a transformer. which one? well that would depend on the fans voltage

Why would you need to look for a working fan from an air hocky table? You can order 12v fans from 40mm to 120mm for under $10 new.

Yeah, you just need to order a 12v 800mA - 12v 1500mA DC wall transformer and wire the fan's + and - wires. That's assuming the fan is a brushless 12v. The fan should say on the front what the motor's specs are. You can go a little lower in voltage and about 30% lower in mA without damaging the motor, but I would get as close as you can without going over if you want the fan to run at full speed.

If you plag a DC fan into an extension cord you won't have a working fan after that. You need a comparable DC transformer. They make 120v AC fans, but they generally produce too much heat to be safely used in a smaller incubator.
