Molson Coors donates  $10 000.00 toward the Star City Arena Geothermal project.  The project will see a geothermal heating system installed in the rink enabling the creation of artifical ice.  This will allow the arena to continue to provide the much needed ice time to the town’s residents and to the residents of the surrounding areas, thereby encouraging greater participation in winter ice sports.

Sales Rep, Ed McGurry and P&E Manager, Tracey Winch,  along with the ever popular Molson Canadian Extreme Team, connect Molson Canadian to Hockey in the COMMUNITY raising money for the Winnipeg Harvest Food Bank.
By partnering with Power 97, Winnipeg’s number one rock station, we received air time for 3 weeks leading up to the 5th Annual Hockey Day in the Winnipeg Sponge Hockey tournament.
The sold out tournament is a day filled with hockey action and delicious Molson Canadian Lager sold in the beer garden located in the Melrose Community Centre
Not only did we raise money through beer garden sales, additional dollars were raised through 50/50 draws, and sponge hockey team’s registration fee;  Molson MDF also donated $2,500 to Winnipeg Harvest. A total of $6,670 was raised for the Winnipeg Harvest Food Bank!

The Molson Canadian Sponge Hockey tournament after party took place down the street at the Henderson Draft House where we announced the winning teams and awarded prizes.   All in all a great Canadian Day!! See below for some highlights from PowerTV.  Cheers Tracey and MolsonCaroleB

Le 29 novembre dernier, Frédéric Blackburn, athlète québécois en patinage de vitesse, a regroupé des célébrités du monde sportif pour disputer un match de hockey bénéfice au profit du Club de patinage de vitesse Saint-Michel. Molson Coors est fière d’avoir fait sa part, pour ainsi contribuer aux profits devant être remis aux sportifs de chez nous.

Les organisateurs de cet événement, avec en tête Frédéric, auront ainsi remis un total de 7,000$ pour les patineurs du Club.

Bravo à Frédéric qui trouve le moyen de redonner aux athlètes d’aujourd’hui, pour ainsi leur permettre à leur tour, de réaliser leur rêve, et de demeurer actif dans notre communauté.

Santé!
