SWIFT CURRENT, SK, Feb. 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Canada's biggest celebration of hockey –
Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada® (SHDiC) – arrives this

community hockey events, culminating in a 12.5-hour broadcast

Scotiabank is proud to continue the tradition of bringing
Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada® to communities across
Canada for the 19th
year. Hockey matters to Scotiabank as it matters to
Canadians. We are committed to helping young people reach
their infinite potential both off and on the ice and have proudly
helped to support one million kids, and counting, through our
commitment to community hockey across Canada. Scotiabank Hockey Day in
Canada® is about much more than just the game of hockey – it's
about coming together as a community. We are proud to support this
celebration of hockey, which brings kids' hockey clinics, games,
the Stanley Cup® and NHL Alumni™ to communities across
Canada.
This Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada® we are celebrating hockey
memories and creating new ones and we want you to be part of it!
When you share your favourite memory with #HockeyDay on social
media, we'll donate $1 to the NHL®
Foundation in support of kids' community hockey initiatives*. Your
memories will help inspire our Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada®
mural, being created live in Swift
Current.
