Hockey is Back

Red Card Sports Bar + Eatery is set to kick off the NHL season in signature style featuring a special charity pizza. With eighteen high-def screens, a glowing cocktail bar, delicious Italian-style pizzas and an impressive beer list, the stylish downtown eatery is the place to catch all the NHL action.

During the 2010-2011 hockey season, which runs until April 9^th, Red Card Sports Bar + Eatery hopes to raise upwards of $5,000 to benefit the Canucks Autism Network (CAN). Two dollars from each $17 NHL charity pizza sold during the regular hockey season will be donated to CAN. Aptly named, the Hat Trick pizza is topped with spicy sausage, sopressata, bacon and mozzarella.
