WHAT'S NEW AT MARY'S PLACE

Everybody agrees Mary's is a hot spot for live entertainment, but did you know Mary's is also the best place to watch any kind of sporting event? People are always drinking and talking about sports at Mary's Place. Come to the oldest bar in Rockford and experience all the games on the Mary's big screen -- pumping through a state-of-the-art BOSE surround sound system.

Blackhawks fans love to watch games at Mary's because Mary's Place is an official Chicago Blackhawks bar. Mary's caterers to NHL fans by carrying the Versus Network, one of the only cable stations to broadcast NHL games nationwide. Mary's also offers CBSC, and ESPNU which both carry several college hockey games every week, and as an official Chicago Blackhawks bar, you will always get a chance to see the Hawks at Mary's on Comcast Sports Net.

Hockey has a long standing tradition at Mary's Place. Back in the late 80's Mary's sponsored one of Rockford's original hockey teams, The Rockford Raiders. Several of the players were Mary's regulars and still come in to this day. The bar's close proximity to Rockford's original hockey sites, the Riverview Icehouse and the Sinnisippi Lagoon, has also helped make Mary's Rockford's favorite hang out hot spot for hockey fans and players. Mary's has been a safe haven for hockey parents as well. Many weekend days in the winter find several hockey parents talking about youth hockey at Mary's while their kids have practice just a block away at the Riverview Icehouse.

As we enter a new era of hockey in Rockford, our Rockford Icehogs are now the affiliate to the Chicago Blackhawks, and Mary's Place is once again still the hockey hot spot with people meeting before and after Icehogs games - whole teams gathering after a league game at the Riverview Icehouse - or just a group of fans stopping by to watch a game. You can always find people talking hockey at the oldest bar in Rockford.

With the perfect location near the MetroCenter, and Icehouse, and the several hockey viewing opportunities, it's easy to see why hockey fans flock to Mary's. Mary's is and forever will be Rockford's number one hockey bar.

Whether it's hot live entertainment or the biggest games in sports on the Mary's big screen, Mary's is always the place!
