The sporting goods manufacturer CCM Hockey has established a long-term collaborative agreement with both the Montreal Canadiens organization and its charitable arm — the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation. The aim is to lower the financial and logistical barriers to entry for the sport, thereby promoting greater participation and fostering inclusivity within local communities.
This alliance designates CCM as the principal corporate backer for the Bleu Blanc Bouge skating program, which focuses on supporting access to the sport for youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. In this role, CCM Hockey will supply "helmets and skates to more than 650 underprivileged kids throughout Quebec to participate in a six-week learn-to-skate program."
Additionally, CCM Hockey will contribute additional athletic gear to support the construction and operation of public ice rinks managed by the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation. This is known as the Foundation's flagship program.
