Earlier this week the “Hockey Night in Canada Play On” Street Hockey Tournament announced that United Parcel Service Canada (UPS) would be the title sponsor of the Corporate Division of the tournament.

UPS will not only be registered to play in the most renowned street hockey tournament in the world but most importantly, 50% of UPS Corporate Division registration fees will be donated directly to local children’s charities allowing the Canadian corporate community to join UPS in making a meaningful contribution to organizations such as KidSport, Right To Play, NHL team Foundations, and the United Way across Canada.

“We are proud to be the Corporate Division sponsor of this great Canadian event,” said UPS Canada President Michael Tierney.  “Our priority has always been to strike a balance between financial contributions and hands-on involvement within our community.  Play On! does just that; it gives corporations a chance for their employees to be active, have fun, work together and most importantly support a worthy cause.”

Hockey Night in Canada’s Play On! is the largest sports festival in Canada.  The program will involve more games played this summer than all professional sports leagues combined.  These wholesome, festive, street hockey events celebrate the imagination and innocence of youth, making kids feel like NHL pros and helping adults feel like kids again.
