MONTREAL (October 14, 2022) – Vizzy Hard Seltzer and the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) announce a new partnership to help support the upcoming season for top women’s hockey players. The first event in the Secret® Dream Gap Tour begins tomorrow in Montreal.
Vizzy, a brand anchored in advocating for and celebrating inclusivity, supports the PWHPA’s mission to provide fulsome training and salaries, as well as competitive game play opportunities for players. The association continues to strive and act for a better future for women’s hockey, promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in the sport.
“Since its inception, Vizzy has been an ally of the Queer community, focusing on bringing visibility to LGBTQ2S+ artists and offering resources to the community through various initiatives,” says Brian Collins, Director of Partnerships and Events at Molson Coors Beverage Company. “And now, we’re excited to extend our allyship and support to professional women’s hockey – a clear passion point for Canadians – through the great work of the PWHPA.”
The partnership includes seltzer exclusivity and rights to marks, visibility assets such as rinkboard branding, social media assets, player appearances and cross-promotion opportunities, in-game announcements, and more.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Vizzy as our latest partner, a brand who shares our vision for professional women’s hockey,” said Jayna Hefford, PWHPA Operations Consultant. “This partnership will provide PWHPA players with further opportunities, which will help continue to grow the game.”
