Bitar’s is a well-known family restaurant serving the East Hants community for many years.
“Rob Bitar’s Ristoranté is a highly respected local restaurant and all those who visit can’t seem to get enough of it,” added Hirtle.
“We’re extremely appreciative of Rob, his wife Kelly, and their three children for joining the Penguins family and we can’t wait to get the season started with them by our side.”
East Hants opens the NSJHL regular season on Friday night as they host Sackville Blazers at 7:30 p.m. and on Sept. 17 when the Valley Maple Leafs skate in to Lantz for a 6:30 p.m. puck drop.
Both games will be at the East Hants Sportsplex.
