Scotiabank presents Hockey 24: A film by Canada

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2019 /CNW/ – On November 17, Scotiabank is inviting Canadians everywhere to submit their footage to be part of Hockey 24, a unique documentary that will capture a day in community hockey in Canada.

This documentary is an amazing opportunity for Canadians to share their personal experiences with community hockey and be a part of the legacy of hockey in our country. Using only footage and photos taken on Sunday, November 17, globally-renowned, awarded and recognized documentary filmmakers will compile the contributions submitted from Canadians across the country to create a unique snapshot of life on a single day in Canada.

Whether it’s on or off the ice, Canadians are encouraged to record their personal experiences with community hockey to be part of the story. Share your videos and photos showing your favourite pre-game routine; coaching or volunteering at the rink; hitting the road or watching the game with your friends. We want to see it all! Those who submit their footage will also be entered for a chance to win up to $24,000 for your local community hockey team or league, and a trip to the 2020 Honda NHL® All-Star Game.*

As the Official Bank of the NHL® and NHL Alumni Association, Scotiabank is a committed supporter of hockey at all levels across the country, particularly kids’ community hockey. Since 2008, Scotiabank has supported one million kids and counting through the Scotiabank Community Hockey Sponsorship Program.

“Scotiabank is very excited to be a part of this incredible film,” says Clinton Braganza, Chief Marketing Officer at Scotiabank. “Hockey matters to Scotiabank because it matters to Canadians. As fans, coaches and players ourselves, community hockey is an important part of who we are. We can’t wait to see how Hockey 24 weaves the country’s individual hockey experiences together into one story.”

Canadians can spot themselves on the silver screen, TV and online beginning in the spring of 2020, following a world premiere screening taking place during Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto.

Scotiabank Teammates Lanny McDonald, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Darcy Tucker, and Coach Jeremy of “How to Hockey”, will be participating in the making of Hockey 24, in various locations across the country.
