Canada's top darts player JOHN PART dropped into ROCKIES last Thursday. John who is nick named the DARTH MAPLE was competing in the White and Mackay Premier League darts championship at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. Currently ranked 4th in the World John has  won quite a number of trophies through out his career including 3 World Titles. He is the current PDC World Champion. This Toronto native who now resides in Oshawa proved to be a very popular figure in ROCKIES as Dart Fans had gathered in masses to get their picture with John.

ROCKIES would like to wish John the very best in his future career and are very grateful that a Canadian World Champion took the time to pop into Ireland's only Canadian Sports Bar.

During the past week several top Canadian Junior Hockey Clubs have donated jerseys to ROCKIES. Peterborough Petes General Manager JEFF TWOHEY has forwarded a #24 game jersey from Sudbury native JADRAN BELJO, DAVE ANDJELIC Director of Marketing and Public relations for the Medicine Hat Tigers sent a signed #22 jersey from Edmonton born TYLER ENNIS and TRICIA SHANNON office assistant for the Brandon Wheat Kings delivered former Belfast Giants captain JEFF HOAD,s  #16 jersey from his days with the eary 90's Wheat Kings.   ALL THE JERSEYS ARE PROUDLY HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS IN ROCKIES.

 BILL BURKE who is Govenor for the Niagara Ice Dogs is sending ROCKIES the #10 jersey from highly rated defenceman ALEX PIETRANGELO. PETRO who hails from King City in Ontario is expected to be one of the top picks in this years NHL draft.

JIM GRAVES owner of ROCKIES would like to take this time to thank all the organisations involved along with the named individuals for taking the time to send such valued items in representing their respective clubs.

ROCKIES has reserved an area in the bar for old Canadian License Plates to be displayed. Jim Graves owner of ROCKIES would be very grateful if there are some Canucks out there who would like to see their plates end up in Belfast. Jim  feels that in addition to the many Canadian Sporting Items that adorn the walls in ROCKIES Canadian License Plates give it a real back home feeling. He is hoping to attract them from right across CANADA. If you do come across one feel free to forward it to;
