Teammates which includes: Auston
Matthews, P.K. Subban, Cassie

TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2020 /CNW/ - Scotiabank is proud to grow
their hockey roster, drafting Canadian hockey star Natalie Spooner as their newest sponsored
Teammate.
"We believe that Natalie exudes the important values that hockey
teaches, such as respect, teamwork, inclusivity and dedication,"
says Mike Tasevski, Vice President,
Sponsorship at Scotiabank. "We are confident that Natalie's passion
for the game will continue to inspire the next generation of female
hockey players to pursue their own hockey dreams, and we are proud
to welcome her to the Scotiabank team. Scotiabank is committed to
supporting every goal on and off the ice and have supported one
million kids and counting since 2018 through the Scotiabank
Community Hockey Sponsorship Program."
Natalie is a two-time Olympic medallist and has played in seven
IIHF Women's World Championships, winning one gold, five silver and
one bronze as part of Canada's
National Women's Team and is a member of the PWHPA . She joins
Scotiabank's roster of Teammates, which includes, Auston Matthews, P.K. Subban, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Lanny McDonald, and Darcy Tucker. Scotiabank Teammates act as
ambassadors at sponsored events throughout the year and are
featured in Scotiabank's marketing campaigns.
Natalie is familiar with Scotiabank's commitment to kids'
community hockey, as she has been a guest ambassador at past
Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest events, and has traveled with
Scotiabank and Canadian charity Project North, to deliver hockey
equipment to communities in the Arctic.
"I'm so excited to be on Team Scotiabank alongside some amazing
hockey players who I looked up to growing up and love to watch
now," says Spooner. "I have seen first-hand the impact Scotiabank
has made in communities across Canada through Scotiabank Girls Hockey Fest
and Project North. I am so proud to partner with Scotiabank as they
continue to invest in growing women's hockey around Canada so that every little girl can dream big
for their future."
At Scotiabank, we believe hockey teaches kids values and lessons
that they can use outside the arena, and for the rest of their
lives. Helping kids succeed on the ice means helping them succeed
everywhere. Hockey matters to Scotiabank because it matters to
Canadians. We are proud fans, coaches and players.
Scotiabank's Commitment to Hockey
Scotiabank continues its commitment to supporting communities
and bringing fans closer to the game, with the 20th
annual Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada®, taking place in
Yellowknife, Northwest
Territories, February 5-8. The festivities will
culminate on Saturday, February
8th with a 12-hour broadcast, featuring all seven
Canadian NHL® teams. The broadcast starts at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m.
PT on Sportsnet, Sportsnet ONE, CBC, and Sportsnet NOW. All
matchups will also air on NHL Live.
In December, Hockey Canada announced Scotiabank as a new
International Marketing Partner and the Official Bank of Hockey
Canada. The five-year agreement will promote women's hockey and
support of community hockey, creating more ways for kids to play
the game. Additionally, Scotiabank will be the presenting sponsor
of the Hockey Canada
Community, an online destination to share and celebrate great
Canadian hockey stories.
Don't forget, this spring, Hockey 24 will be
released! Canadians are encouraged to watch to see if they can spot
themselves on the silver screen, TV and online following a
world premiere screening taking place during Hot Docs Canadian
International Documentary Festival in Toronto. In November
2019, Canadians were asked to submit their photos and video
highlighting their personal experiences with community hockey.
Documentary filmmakers are busy compiling the contributions
submitted from Canadians across the country to create a unique
snapshot of life on a single day in Canada, known as Hockey 24.
