Hockey Bar?

Post by ChadJK »

Does Omaha have a hockey bar? I know several sports bars will throw a hockey game on one of their screens, but I mean a legit gathering place for hockey fans to watch hockey. A place that set out to be a hockey bar.

Considering the history of hockey in Omaha, verses that of Detroit, that example might be a bit too much to expect here.

Actually for a time Omaha had a farm club of the Red Wings in the 1940s. Bonus, Gordie Howe played for Omaha. In the 60s & 70s the Knights were a Rangers farm club. Omaha actually has quite a hockey history. Maybe the Hockeytown Cafe is a lot for Omaha to support but why not something along those lines near the Mega Saver Arena?

I had heard Ice House near 108th & Maple might be one, but nothing on their website or social media indicates that. Though, their name implies it.

Something like The Blue Line in KC would probably be more Omaha's speed than that Detroit one.

Blue Line in KC is awesome. Would love to have something similar here.
