Charlottetown, PEI. – The amateur hockey movement in Prince Edward Island has received some help from Molson Canadian in the form of an $18,600 donation. The donation will help to fund a variety of development programs for coaches and trainers, as well as the Speak Out program for officials and volunteers. Since 2003, Molson has donated over $66,000 to Hockey PEI to support the amateur hockey movement in the province and over $250,000 to support amateur hockey throughout the Maritimes.
“At Molson, we’re true fans of hockey and we share the passion for the game,” said Steve Dykeman, Regional Manager NB/PEI, Molson. “Many of us play ourselves and we know that it takes hard work on behalf of the players, coaches and administration to keep things running smoothly. We are proud to play our part to support something that is part of the fabric of PEI.”
The funds donated were raised during an in-store promotion at PEILCC stores. For every 15-pack of Molson Canadian sold, Molson donated $1 to Hockey PEI. The promotion is taking place again this year from February 1 - February 28 where Molson is donating $1 from the sale of each 15-pack of Molson Canadian sold.
“Hockey PEI is very grateful for the partnership that has been developed with Molson and the annual contribution they make to the development of the game on PEI. These funds help eliminate some of the costs to our development programs that has a lasting impact on grass roots hockey,” said Rob Newson, Executive Director, Hockey PEI.
