New partner
If you are a fan of the Quebec Remparts and you are an observer, you have probably noticed the emblematic logo of the Heinz company which now appears on the players’ jerseys worn during the team’s matches, since November 15. The addition of the Heinz logo on the Remparts jerseys is carried out as part of the advertising program on QMJHL game jerseys which allows Cecchini circuit teams, for the very first time, to sell advertising on their official jerseys since the start of the 2024-2025 season. Identified by the name HEINZ – EST’D 1869, the crest is sewn on the upper left part of the front of the jersey which will be worn in all matches, both those played at the Videotron Center and those presented on the road. Heinz also becomes a major partner of the Videotron Center. In the photo, on the left, Dominique Bergeron-Doucet, head of the Out-of-Home Canada division, Kraft Heinz, and Stéphane Lordvice-president of sales for the Videotron Center and the Remparts.

Beautiful showcase!
The Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament will once again be able to count on a bus in the colors of the organization this year which will serve as a promotional vehicle by recalling the dates of the tournament and a catchy slogan “And yes, there are mini- Gretzky. This 2025 visibility agreement was made possible thanks to the people at Transco, a subsidiary of First Student, which has more than three decades of experience in school transportation. Very successful for the 65th anniversary of the tournament. Photos taken from the tournament Facebook page.
