L-F: Steven Gottlieb, Executive Director Boundless; Danny Brown, 12for12k Founder; Adam Ouimet, Molson Coors Canada Sales Rep, Toronto; Bobby Smith, General Manager, Loose Moose; and JS Giguere.
Tuesday night’s hockey game at the ACC in Toronto was presentation night for February’s Molson Canadian Cup in partnership with the Team Up Foundation. The winning hard-working Leafs player was….. JS Giguere (congrats!) and the charity recipient of a $1000 donation was a great organization called Boundless Adventures.
This Molson Canadian Cup a was little extra special due to a collaboration between Molson Coors, Boundless and the innovative awareness and fundraising organization, 12for12k. 12for12k uses the power and outreach of social media to spread the word about multiple charitable organizations. From Twitter to Facebook, blogs to social media newsrooms and more, the 12for12k challenge helps supported charities connect with as wide an audience as possible. So, that being said, 12for12k’s official charity for March is Boundless, and the $1000 donation on Tuesday night was a great kick-off to the month of fundraising.
Molson Coors Canada has partnered with Boundless for many years. Boundless is dedicated to improving the lives of marginalized youth, adults and children at risk through a unique combination of counselling, social rehabilitation, alternative education and outdoor adventure. Learn more
Cheers,
Tonia
P.S. If you were at the game/saw the game Tuesday eve – awesome eh? 3-3 in overtime and then a sweet goal from Kulemin for the win! Go Leafs Go

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

Eh oui, les patins de Ken Dryden lors de son dernier match au Forum de Montréal en 1978 …!

J’ai effectué une petite visite du tout nouveau Musée du Canadien de Montréal (situé au Centre Bell du côté de la Gare Windsor) … toute une visite! Des bagues de la Coupe Stanley ayant appartenu à des légendes du Canadien, dont Guy Lafleur, Jean Béliveau, etc., des équipements qui feraient l’envie de tout collectionneur, un écran tactile géant interactif, une reproduction de wagons de train de l’époque, le vestiaire du Forum de Montréal, des répliques de joueurs du Canadien grandeur réelle, etc.
Mille et une choses qui intéresseront d’emblée tous les partisans, amoureux du Canadien et du hockey en général …
Le coût de la visite est minime, et encore une chanson lors des jours de matches si vous possédez un billet pour le match en question …
Je vous encourage fortement à aller jeter un coup d’oeil … personnellement, cette visite fait partie de mes plus beaux souvenirs de musée! J’ai adoré!
Santé …

De gauche à droite: Andrew Molson, Général Walter J. Natynczyk (Chef de la Défense nationale), Monique Dépatie de Molson Coors Canada et Donald Beauchamp, vice-président des Communications et Relations communautaires du Club de hockey Canadien de Montréal.
J’ai eu l’immense plaisir de rencontrer le Général Walter J. Natynczyk ainsi qu’une cinquantaine de soldats canadiens ayant combattu en Afghanistan l’année dernière, et qui sont prêts à repartir au moment opportun. Ces représentants de l’armée canadienne avaient été invités par le Club de hockey Canadien lors du match du mardi 2 février, contre Vancouver. Une soirée couronnée d’une victoire de nos Glorieux avec un compte de 3 à 2 sur Vancouver!
Le Général, accompagné des membres de son équipe, en a profité pour remettre un chandail officiel des “Forces” aux propriétaires du Canadien, soit Andrew et Geoff Molson également présent à l’événement.
Une magnifique soirée pour ces représentants de grande classe et chapeau à l’organisation du Canadien pour cette belle attention envers les représentants de la Défense nationale. Santé!
