The Molson Canadian World Hockey Summit kicked off last night at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, ON with a full house of hockey professionals, experts, enthusiasts and media. Over the next three days, the summit will dissect the current state of hockey to identify and address key concerns and issues facing the game today. Topics of conversation will range from an Agents’ Roles with Young Players to International vs. North American Hockey to 2010 Winter Games Evaluation and Women’s Hockey (and many more).
7th Generation Molson family member Geoff Molson dropped by yesterday and today to support the Summit, and we were able to sneak a couple minutes of his time to chat about hockey and Molson Coors with @MolsonFerg.
Rich and passionate conversations about all things hockey can be followed along with photos and videos on the Facebook page and Twitter
Behind the scenes photos at the Summit also on facebook, and more to come later this week. Cheers!
This September 18-26th, thousands of Canadians will take time out of their busy lives to rehabilitate their local shorelines through the removal of shoreline litter in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. This year Molson Canadian is excited to play its part as a National Sponsor, partnering with the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF-Canada
In 2009, participants removed litter from 2,457 km of shoreline in Canada, making the GCSC Canada’s largest contributor to the International Coastal Cleanup, a global effort to remove harmful litter and aquatic debris from shorelines.
There are two ways to get involved. You can help cleanup by becoming a participant of an existing cleanup, OR, you can organize a cleanup by becoming a Site Coordinator. Groups, families, companies, individuals are all welcome!
Why are we involved? Well, we believe that good business practices include environmental stewardship, and September at Molson Coors Brewing Company is a Month of Action focused on Water. Water is essential to the brewing process – without great water, we can’t make great beer. More about Molson Coors Water Stewardship
There are hundreds and hundreds of cleanups organized across the country, so you’ll most likely be able to find one close to you. Molson Coors employees will be joining the pack to help preserve and restore the beauty that Canada is. I’ll have more details about our involvement in the coming weeks – hope to see our water (and beer!) loving friends join us
Kicking off today in Montreal, the Five Hold For Food Cross-Canada Road Hockey trip begins…Road Hockey with a Purpose. Take a look at the video above to learn more and follow @fiveholeforfood for live updates on Twitter.
Bonjour! Je suis moi-même originaire de Montréal, alors le fait d’être aux Olympiques pour le « Jour du Québec » revêt une importance particulière pour moi. La planète a les yeux rivés sur le Canada et cela nous donne l’occasion de présenter la culture et l’héritage de chacune de nos provinces. Pour Molson Coors, le Québec occupe aussi une place particulière puisque c’est dans cette province que John Molson s’est établi et qu’il a fondé sa brasserie sur les rives du St-Laurent en 1786. C’est un grand honneur de pouvoir être les hôtes des Jeux d’hiver et le monde entier a les yeux rivés sur le Canada. Molson Coors est tout aussi fière de pouvoir faire partie de ces Jeux à titre de fournisseur officiel de bière. Ces Jeux permettront aux organisateurs et aux partenaires de représenter la culture et l’héritage de chacune de nos provinces. Hier, le 15 février marquait le Jour du Québec ici aux Jeux de Vancouver. Il est donc de mise de vous proposer une entrevue avec Geoff Molson, l’arrière-arrière-arrière-petit-fil de John, qui est fier de représenter Molson Coors dans sa province natale. Dans le reportage d’aujourd’hui, nous vous présentons aussi un entretien avec Jean Charest premier ministre du Québec et des faits saillants de la réception tenu a la maison du Québec en l’honneur du Jour du Québec ou des invites Québécois présent à Vancouver assistaient dont les deux médaillés olympique Québécois de ces Jeux à ce jour – Alexandre Bilodeau et Jennifer Heil ainsi qu’un entretien avec Denny Morrison un des athlète récipiendaire de l’appui de Molson Coors.
Bonjour! I’m from Montreal, so being here for “Quebec Day” at the Olympics was especially important to me. The whole world is watching Canada, and that gives us the chance to showcase the culture and heritage of our unique provinces. We at Molson Coors are bursting with pride about being a part of these games as the official beer supplier of Canada’s Games. At these Games the organizers and partners are doing a great job showcasing the culture and heritage of our unique provinces. Yesterday was Quebec Day, and la belle province is where John Molson made his home, and founded our first historic brewery. On this broadcast dedicated to his home , hear what Geoff Molson has to say about our contribution to the Vancouver 2010 Games. We’ll also bring you the highlights of the reception held by the premier of Quebec Mr. Jean Charest at the Maison du Quebec in Vancouver. The reception was attended by Gold medalist Alexandre Bilodeau and Bronze medalist Jennifer Hail. Also, listen to the interviews done with Jean Charest, premier of Quebec and Denny Morrison one of the athletes supported by the Molson Canadian Fund a Champion program.
I arrived in Vancouver yesterday, and it feels a little calmer than what I had expected, no major traffic jams to get downtown, or massive crowds on the streets. It is truly the “calm before the storm” feeling. I say that because you can see lots of visitors, media from around the world and their camera crews, you see the official VANOC vehicles roaming the streets. While it seems calm I sense the excitement and the trepidation of everyone I’ve met so far since I got here…the city is ready. Vancouverites are happy and it shows in their display of hospitality everywhere, it will be without a doubt an exciting few weeks! And we want to bring you a piece of it by giving you an inside look at “our” Games.
As the official beer supplier of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, Molson Coors and our brands will be under the spotlight at the 2010 Winter Games, and our “Roving Reporter” employees will be bringing you the hottest news direct from Vancouver the site of the world’s most prestigious winter sports competition. You won’t see the sporting events highlight, we leave that to the partner networks, what our employee will be sharing is their insight on our Molson Coors Games. You’ ll see what we do to support our customers, brands and retail events, some of the action at the Molson Canadian Hockey House, our VIP gatherings and receptions at our Vancouver Brewery. The Dispatches will also bring you exclusive interviews with our Molson Canadian/Export Fund Champion athletes, and much, much more. Don’t miss the Dispatches! Every weekday, beginning on Thursday Feb 11, 2010.
Oh yes, if there’s anything you’d like us to report on about “our” games, sort of a special request, please let me or any of us on the team know and we’ll do our best to bring it to you.
