Hour 4 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. February 19th, 2026

February 19, 2026

Earlier this afternoon, the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team was unable to secure the happy ending they were searching for, falling one goal short in an overtime heartbreaker to the Americans. Meantime, the Men’s Hockey squad still has Gold in their sights, as they face off against Finland tomorrow. And regardless of how Friday’s Semi-Final matchup plays out, the boys will be playing for a medal on Sunday. Due to these unique circumstances, Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission has granted approval to a trio of Ottawa bars to start the party early. One of them is Lowertown Brewery, which is located in Ottawa’s ByWard Market. Kristy Cameron chats with owner Alex Sirois in Hour 4. Then, we preview tonight’s CTV Ottawa supper-hour newscast with Jackie Perez and Kimberley Fowler. And if news breaks in real time, you’ll hear it live on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.
