Montreal Canadiens (National Hockey League)

Sun Life is a proud partner of the Montreal Canadiens, an iconic hockey team that is ingrained in the culture of Quebec. Our partnership with the Canadiens includes major initiatives aimed at supporting Sun Life’s commitment to type 2 diabetes prevention in Quebec. Our most recent initiative was a donation to the Fondation pour enfants diabétiques du Québec for every goal scored by the team at the Bell Centre, and donations for every tweet and retweet using the hashtag #Monactiondiabète. We also hold an annual blood drive with Canadiens players that gives the public a chance to be screened for diabetes. In addition, the sponsorship provides rinkboard signage at all home games and client hosting opportunities.
