Return of hockey providing needed boost for Kamloops bars and restaurants
KAMLOOPS — Hockey has reignited passion across the country, even if it’s being played during the heat of summer. It’s also helped to reignite some business at Kamloops restaurants.
“It’s been really good so far,” said bar manager at the Fox ‘N Hounds Pub Karsten Rostad. “We have had all the the Canadian teams playing. It’s been restricted with only tables of six so far, but very happy how it’s been for the first couple weeks.”
The Fox ‘N Hounds has noticed a slight bump since the return of hockey Aug. 1, as well as other professional sports. People are wanting to come in, enjoy a beer and watch the game.
