HockeyStars Puts Amateur Hockey Online


Amateur hockey players will now be able to show off more goals and generate more thunderous hits with their skates off with the new web launch of HockeyStars.com.
Citizens Bank of Canada is responsible for promoting this budding amateur hockey community. Citizens Bank wants to bring awareness to the game as well as promote their small branch banks located across the country.
Jason Farris, president and CEO of Citizens Bank, says there isn't much difference of what his bank is doing now compared to decades ago when Citizens Bank of Canada first opened up to serve small communities.
"We're dedicating HockeyStars to the real stars of amateur hockey who give their time to pursue a passion and a sport this is a big part of Canadian culture," said Farris.
Hockeystars.com is equipped with many tools to help coaches, managers and hockey players run their teams online.
"Some people have asked us, 'What does hockey have to do with banking?' Well, this is about brand awareness," said Farris. "We're a relatively young bank. We want people to get to know us, and if they like what they see, we hope they'll join us."
