Hockey lovers this is one chat you will NOT want to miss #Bridgestone #GreatStopsPromo

Hockey is in the blood that runs through our Canadian veins. It’s the fire that burns bright in the hearts of so many across our nation. I’ve written about what hockey means to me, shared videos and blog posts as well.  It’s no secret that I am a ridiculously huge hockey fan or that the best hockey team in the league is *cough* the Montreal Canadiens (Go Habs Go!) but one of the things I love the most about the sport is the pride we feel cheering on our favourite team, standing shoulder to shoulder with fellow Canadians and having our heart burst with pride as our team skates to victory! Just thinking about it is enough to make me misty eyed. There is something magical about hockey. Bridgestone is proud to support the spirit of hockey in Canada through “The Official Tire of Great Stops” program.

When it comes to love of the sport, tradition and the hockey spirit; few things are as epic as The NHL Winter Classic. Bridgestone is the title sponsor of The Winter Classic Game, which is the only regular season NHL game played outdoors. It is the one game that feels most like what regular Canadians play in backyards and community rinks across the country. It has become a tradition to sit around with the family, jerseys on, drinks in hand cheering on our favourite hockey teams! What a patriotic way to kick off the new year.

The Winter Classic is closely tied to the Canadian Winter experience and how the right equipment lets you head out in the open and embrace the elements, making it fun to get out in winter.  As the official Tire of Great Stops, Bridgestone Blizzak tires help keep a family or a team safe, adventurous and ultimately have a more enjoyable winter. Bridgestone Blizzak tires boast confident stopping on ice, just like all the unsung amateur goalies all across Canada.

Committed to hockey in Canada, Bridgestone tires not only help families get to the rink safely, they also help give young players a chance to show their Great Stops to the world. 

Have you ever watched a hockey game in person and tingled with excitement when you see yourself up on the Jumbo Tron? Bridgestone understands the sense of pride that goes along with that feeling. That’s why they’re asking Canadians to share videos, photos, even stories of their Great Stops on all social channels with the hashtags #Bridgestone and #GreatStopsPromo.

They will feature their favourites on www.bridgestonegreatstops.ca and there’s a chance they may even be featured on the NHL Facebook page and added to the highlight reel that will be shown on the Jumbo Tron at the 2016 Bridgestone Winter Classic. How epic would that be?!

Out on the road, Bridgestone Blizzak tires deliver confident stopping power on ice. We know those who protect the net do the same in the rink. Bridgestone Blizzak Tires bite into snow and ice giving you increased confidence in winter’s worst conditions. 

You get:

• Confident stopping power on snow and ice
• Reliable handling on snow and slush
• Impressive grip and control in winter driving conditions
• Backed by Bridgestone’s Winter Tire Warranty
