G.A.B.’s for wings, hockey and community

Reading Time: < 1 minute


It was a case of the chicken wing rather than the left wing at G.A.B.’s Resto-Bar on Laurier Street last week.

With an 8-0 record in the Central Canada Hockey League, Rockland Nationals “Jr. A” players traded their sticks for waiters’ trays to pass the crispy morsels to G.A.B.’s customers for the “Wings & Wins” event during the Tuesday night chicken wing special.

“The event went really well,” says G.A.B.’s owner Sameer Chhibber. “Kids showed up to get pucks and player autographs, and our customers enjoyed being served by the Nationals. It just goes to show how our Clarence-Rockland community supports one another.”

The event was part and parcel of G.A.B.’s continued efforts to connect with and support the community that in turn supports the restaurant and other local businesses.
