Economic losses are beginning to pile up as the NHL lockout surpasses its 80th day, and to be expected, the hardest hit is the bar and restaurant industry.

Recent Moneris data finds that game day spending has dropped approximately 11 per cent year by year.

Drinking establishments close to hockey arenas are being hit the hardest, with spending down about 35 per cent, while fast food joints have even seen their overall take fall by about 35 per cent.

Meanwhile, there is a migration of money, with dollars spent rising year over year, outside the arena area vicinity.
