Kamloops NorthPaws Kanteen Opens at TRU

Published

on

The NorthPaws Kanteen is open weekdays between Old Main and the International Building on TRU’s campus.

 

The Kamloops NorthPaws Kanteen is now open.

The NorthPaws have entered a partnership with Thompson Rivers University to have the 48-foot kitchen on wheels open on campus during the university’s fall and winter semesters.

It is currently open on campus weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. between Old Main and the International Building.

The Kanteen will move to Norbrock Stadium in the springtime and be open for fans at all NorthPaws home games.

“You won’t find your typical ballpark fare. We’re proud to be serving fresh, hot, cooked to order food,” says co-owner Jon Pankuch. “The menu may change as we approach our first games but this way fans can get a taste of what they might see at our games. The Yum Yum Chicken Sandwich is already proving to be a favourite.”

The name Kanteen is a Kamloopsian baseball twist on the colloquial term for a food service found at a sporting venue. The K in Kanteen is equally an homage to our hometown as it is a reference to baseball as the stylized backward K in a box in the same way a called third strike would be denoted on a baseball scorecard.

The letter “K” was adopted as the abbreviation for a strikeout in the late 1800s, taking the last letter of struck as “S” was already in use.

The NorthPaws Kanteen also launched an online ordering system, which will allow fans to place their orders and have it delivered without leaving their seats at Norbrock. Currently, it is active to place pre-orders and skip the line at https://northpaws.zenfoody.com/.

Season Tickets and 10-Game Flex Plans are on sale for the 2022 season. Both ticket packages include the early bird offer of a $100 voucher to be used for food and beverage or merchandise at Norbrock Stadium. This offer expires on Dec. 31, 2021. Don’t miss your chance to reserve the best seat in the house when the West Coast League comes to Kamloops.

The Kamloops NorthPaws is an expansion West Coast League franchise bringing the highest calibre baseball Canada’s Tournament Capital has ever seen. The West Coast League, founded in 2005, has 16 teams across Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alberta featuring some of the top collegiate players during a 54-game summer season. Find the NorthPaws online at www.northpawsbaseball.ca, @northpawsbaseball on Instagram and Facebook, @KamloopsNorthPaws on Tiktok or @northpawsbb on Twitter.

Victoria HarbourCats – Victoria Fire Local 730 and HarbourCats, Golden Tide baseball teams team up for summer show of support

Published

on

February 3, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VICTORIA, BC — Teamwork is needed in fighting fires, as it is on a baseball diamond.

It’s also needed in the community — and that’s why the Victoria Firefighters Association Local 730 of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and the West Coast League’s Victoria HarbourCats, along with the collegiate Victoria Golden Tide of the CCBC, are teaming up for a meaningful symbolic partnership that will run through the 2025 season.

“With the recent devastation we are seeing in Los Angeles, and the wildfires that have decimated areas on our side of the border — I think of Jasper this past summer, among others — it’s important for us all to show support for those who do the dangerous work of keeping us safe,” said Jim Swanson, Managing Partner of the HarbourCats. “We are open supporters of all first responders and military in our area, the people who take the risk to serve our communities.

“Victoria firefighters are true heroes in our community, and deserve our thanks, respect and recognition.”

The IAFF membership across North America includes more than 350,000 who put themselves in harm’s way to save lives and property — the very definition of teamwork.

This summer, HarbourCats players will wear Victoria Firefighter Union hats during batting practice and workouts, and will choose selected games to take them into action. The Golden Tide will do the same this spring with college home games in the CCBC.

The hats will be produced locally by HarbourCats merchandise and apparel partner Passion Sports, located in downtown Victoria on Government Street, working with General Manager Dylan Marsden and owner Greg Wallis.

“Our people truly appreciate the support we get from so many people in the community, and the HarbourCats have been strong partners for so many,” said Union president Jeremy Wilson. “We will be proud to see our logo on the field with both the HarbourCats and Golden Tide.”

The fires in LA have been a stark reminder to all how important it is to do all we can to be ready for anything — the devastation of such a populated area has stunned everyone.

The Golden Tide start their season in late March, while the HarbourCats open their 2025 home schedule on Friday, June 6, with the Port Angeles Lefties visiting Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP. Season Tickets, 10 and 32-Game Flex Passes and Single Game Tickets are now on sale for all 33 home games and three “Showcase” events through the HarbourCats new and one-and-only ticketing partner SHOWPASS at harbourcats.com/tickets.

Tickets can also be purchased in person at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street or by calling 778-265-0327.

ATTENTION 2024 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS:  If you have not already done so, please renew your seats for 2025 so that they can be locked into the new ticketing system.  Season Tickets will be sent to all members electronically this season on April 1, 2025, perhaps sooner.  Any seats not renewed by that time will be released and placed back into the system. Contact Christian at the office at 778-265-0327 to renew.
