There’s more reason to get to the rink early if you’re heading to the West Kelowna Warriors’ game this weekend.

When the club hosts the Wenatchee Wild at Royal LePage Place on Friday, they’ll be introducing a pre-game happy hour.

That means from 6 pm until puck drop at 7 pm, fans will get half price on beer and wine.

Once that national anthem starts, the deal ends.

“We want to reward fans for coming early as the players will be hyped by more bodies in the building as they hit the ice,” said Chris Laurie, the team’s new president.

“Beyond that, our concession food is excellent and we welcome fans to come early for dinner and a drink at an affordable price”.

It’s plenty of reason to get to the rink early, socialize with other members of the community and ensure you’re in your seat to cheer on the boys as they get on the ice to start the game.

Before they return home to take on the Wild on Friday, the Warriors will take on the Surrey Eagles on the road on Wednesday night. 

Puck drop is at 7:30 pm.
