Bars across Saskatchewan were opening their doors extra early on Sunday morning for diehard sports fans to watch the men’s hockey Olympic gold medal match.

Due to overwhelming demand, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) announced every bar in Saskatchewan, excluding bars in Prince Albert, could open and serve alcohol as early as 5:30 a.m. for the game.
