We are extremely excited to tell you about an upcoming chat with the NHL’s presumptive number one draft choice Connor McDavid. Eighteen-year-old McDavid, from Richmond Hill, Ontario has been called, “The Next One”. He is currently captain of the Erie Otters in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). In March 2012, Hockey Canada granted McDavid exceptional player status allowing him to play in the OHL a year earlier than he otherwise would have been able to.
Know one knows Canadian hockey better than Canadian Tire who is hosting this once in a lifetime opportunity for you to speak with this exceptional “generational” player.
Canadian Tire has been every Canadian Hockey players one-stop-shop for anything and everything Hockey. All Canadian Hockey fans have warm memories shopping for new skates, helmets, and hockey gear at Canadian Tire.
Canadian Tire has supported Hockey dreams for thousands of children with their Jumpstart Charity. Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities is a national charity dedicated to providing kids from low-income families with the opportunity to experience the benefits of organized sports and physical activities. With an extensive, national network of more than 330 local chapters, Jumpstart helps kids in communities across Canada by assisting with the costs associated with registration, equipment, and/or transportation.
Their belief is that every child should have the chance to play hockey regardless of their family’s financial situation. They have joined with the Hockey Canada Foundation to get more kids into the game. It’s no wonder Canadian Tire is hosting a Live Q&A on Twitter with #1 Draft Pick and Future NHL Superstar, Connor McDavid!
