REGINA — The City of Regina and the Regina Pats are teaming up this fall to host the first-ever I Love Regina Pats game.
On Nov. 4, the Pats will face off against the Calgary Hitmen at the Brandt Centre in a special game celebrating community pride.
Queen City Sports & Entertainment CEO Gordon Pritchard said this collaboration will include I Love Regina merchandise and lower ticket prices.
“[It's about being] inclusive and having an opportunity for anyone to come out,” he said.
Pritchard added, “we want to show off the great game night experience we have, and we're excited to do that.”
The collaboration has been in the works for several months between the Regina Pats, Tourism Regina, and the City of Regina.
Mayor Chad Bachynski said this game will bring forth “community pride and passion.”
Recently, I Love Regina merch has started appearing in places across the city, including city hall and a newly announced Tourism Regina kiosk at Regina International Airport.
“These are an opportunity to buy into the spirit of Regina that we know is so amazing,” said Bachynski.
Details on the ticket prices or merch being sold at the Nov. 4 game were not revealed.
Pritchard said more announcements on the collaboration will come following the Pats' season opener on Sept. 26.
