    For Blackhawks fans, getting ready for the upcoming season means preparing their "man caves" for several months of equally intense NHL hockey viewing.

    In your dad's day, the "man cave" was the workshop in the garage. Today, it's typically a finished room in the basement where the man of the house might work out, have an office, and, of course, watch sports-especially the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks. DirectBuy, the leading home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, has some pointers for making the man cave guest-friendly for the upcoming NHL season and beyond.

    "While being able to get away from the rest of the house and watch sporting events like hockey in peace may have been the genesis of the man cave, what might not have been taken into consideration initially was the desire to someday invite others to watch the game with you," said Jeremy Vest, owner of DirectBuy of DuPage County. "Let's face it, if you're setting up a space fit for entertaining guests that's something most men may want some assistance with."

    So what items might today's man cave need to complete the perfect hockey-watching party?:

    Kegerator, a man-cave essential for a beer-drinking crowd Wide Screen TV with HD; surround sound speakers also recommended Sectional sofa to accommodate multiple visitors; reclining chair with cup holders for the host.Full-size, built-in bar area or free-standing, mobile bar stationTile or wood flooring that's particularly resilient to potential spillage
    Pool table, air hockey, or foosball for halftime recreation Mini-kitchen with microwave to reheat buffalo wings.

    Home gym equipment-e.g. treadmill, elliptical-to work off the excess calories consumed during man cave weekend hockey marathons.
