I’m neither from the West Coast nor a hockey fan, but last night, I came across this ironic and interesting story.

Apparently, as of yesterday, 62 Boston Pizzas in BC have temporarily changed their name to “Vancouver Pizza” in honour of their home team making it to the finals. Talk about pressure!

The irony is that Boston Pizza is neither from Boston nor Vancouver, as stated in this article, but the company actually started in Edmonton, AB as per the company’s website!

I guess “Edmonton Pizza” just doesn’t have the same ring to it?
