Quotes
"We've had a special connection to hockey since the legendary Tim Horton opened his first restaurant in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. Since then, hockey has become part of our DNA – you see it in our Timbits hockey program, in our restaurant design and in our packaging too. Our limited-edition hockey cups and interactive donut boxes will be back again this year in addition to hockey-themed donuts, TimCards and merchandise. We know how excited our guests get about the hockey season every year and we're excited to celebrate the start of the season with them."
– Mike Hancock, Chief Operating Officer, Tim Hortons
"As a kid, collecting and trading hockey cards contributed to my love for the game. Nate and I are excited to inspire budding hockey players across Canada by not just having special cards to collect, but also by being part of this year's television ad. This spot is our favourite by far because Bob Cole, legendary announcer from Hockey Night in Canada, provided the voiceover."
– Sidney Crosby, Captain of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins
