Goodyear Canada is proud to support the CHA and grassroots hockey through our title sponsorship of the Goodyear Drive For Gold. Visit participating Goodyear tire dealers and enjoy "3 Ways to Win" this hockey season: instant rebates on bestselling tires, scratch 'n win's, and the opportunity to predict how Canada's teams will do in Salt Lake City and win your tires for free! Gold! Canada! Gold!

  Primary Sponsors

Hockey and the post office have always been a part of the fabric of Canadian society. Over the years, Canada Post has supported Canadians' love for hockey through an extensive philatelic program highlighting the major events and teams that have fuelled the enthusiasm for our official winter sport. As part of the Goodyear Drive for Gold, Canada Post will build on this program with its own display in the CHA museum trailer, and it will make many of its popular hockey-related stamps and philatelic merchandise available at retail counters in every community hosting the Zamboni Tour.




AMJ Campbell is proud to be the Official Mover of the Goodyear Drive For Gold Tour. As the tour rolls across the country it will be AMJ Campbell's trucks and trailers leading the way. They will transport the travelling museum and the Zamboni from city to city just as they would a residential move - with the utmost care and in a very timely manner. As the Official Mover of the Canadian Olympic Teams and such storied hockey franchise's like the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Calgary Flames, AMJ Campbell is honoured to be included with this great grassroots hockey promotion that will leave an indelible mark on communities from coast to coast across Canada.
