BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Canada is part of the hockey DNA in Buffalo, NY. Just go to any professional game and you\u2019ll hear both national anthems. Last week, that connection was on full display when the microphone cut out during \u2018O Canada,\u2019 and fans didn\u2019t hesitate to step in and finish it together. To say \u2018thank you,\u2019 Molson Canadian showed up in Buffalo ahead of Game 6, sampling Molson Canadian for fans and bringing its “Cheer Canadian” platform to the city.<\/p>\nIn addition to the surprise sampling moment, the brand launched localized digital out-of-home placements featuring a simple, heartfelt message inspired by the anthem moment, turning an act of respect into a shared celebration.<\/p>\n
“That moment was a powerful expression of cultural pride. It was bigger than the game,” said Eric Kouri, Marketing Director, Molson Coors Beverage Company. “As a brand that has represented Canada for over 240 years and has long been part of the Buffalo community, it was important to show our gratitude to Buffalo fans.”<\/p>\n
Molson Canadian launched “Cheer Canadian” at the start of the playoffs, with billboards across key markets nationwide encouraging fans to rally behind Canadian teams and players competing for the Cup – whether their home team made the postseason or not. Rooted in the belief that hockey is Canada\u2019s game, the campaign invites fans to support the sport, the players, and the moments that bring people together.<\/p>\n
The “Cheer Canadian” campaign will continue through the playoffs as Molson Canadian celebrates Canadians competing for hockey\u2019s ultimate prize – and the fans, wherever they are, who rally behind them.<\/p>\n
