VICTORIA, B.C. — Redheads, Monday night is your night — for you, FREE.

The Victoria HarbourCats want to make up for all the teasing and abuse — really, it’s jealousy, right? — that redheads have taken in life, by welcoming ALL redheads to our game on Monday, July 24, when the REDmond Dudes arrive at Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP.

After all, we have redheads on our team, on our staff, in our ownership group — and we think their hair hue is divine, and we want to celebrate with them!

The night is sponsored by — you guessed it — our official craft beer partner, Red Arrow Brewing, maker of the highly popular Ballpark Blonde Ale.

“Redheads are always being singled out, even picked on — we want to have some fun with them, but NOT at their expense for once,” said Jim Swanson of the HarbourCats. “Some of our best players have been redheads — looking at you, Griffin Andreychuk and Russell Young — and we’re proud of our redheads.”

How does this work? Simple. If you’re a redhead — you get in free, so come to the team office at 1814 Vancouver Street, or to the ticket booth that night, and you’ll get a free ticket. Of course, we want to see those red locks, and we may ask for a photo of all the redheads enjoying the game, too!

This free ticket offer is not available on-line, so to take advantage, purchase tickets in advance at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street, or come to the gate on Monday, starting at 5:30 pm to get your tickets there.

All other hues of hair my purchase tickets in advance at https://harbourcats.com/tickets.

NOTE: VOUCHER EXCHANGES – Anyone with General Admission, Premium Reserved or Grandstad Reserved Ticket Vouchers, please note these will need to be redeemed on or before our last regular season home game on August 3rd. THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PLAYOFFS and may NOT BE CARRIED OVER to 2024. To avoid congestion at the box office on game days, it is strongly suggested that you exchange vouchers in advance at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 21, 2024

VICTORIA, B.C. — Different sports, but the same community ideals.

The Victoria HarbourCats and Nanaimo NightOwls, of baseball’s West Coast League, and the Vancouver Island Soccer League (VISL), have entered into a strategic partnership intended to assist the entities in growing grassroots sports and improving facilities on Vancouver Island.

The VISL provides programming and championships on the Island and leads leagues which give the best soccer players an avenue to play the sport for life. Championships such as the Jackson Cup, with many finals played at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, serve as the crown jewel of the VISL.

More than 6,000 participants are involved with the VISL — sports fans, who will keep track of the Island’s top baseball programs, the HarbourCats and NightOwls, who combined to draw more than 100,000 spectators in 2024.

The baseball teams and VISL will jointly promote each others’ schedules, and provide opportunities for youth participation.

“The atmosphere at HarbourCats and NightOwls games showcase the top fan engagement on the Island, a true gathering point in our communities,” said VISL Executive Director Vince Greco.

“Baseball fans are soccer fans, and soccer fans are baseball fans — it’s about supporting quality programs on the island and furthering awareness. Adding youth opportunities between the two will be the cherry on top.”

Watch for VISL events to recognize the work of the HarbourCats and NightOwls, and feature baseball games to celebrate the success of the VISL.

For more information on the VISL and their programs and offerings, please visit their website HERE.
