Hankook Tire Canada and its dealer partners celebrated with Toronto Maple Leaf alumni at the company’s third annual Dealer Appreciation Event.

The event, that took place on February 5 at the Scotiabank Arena, was held to show the company’s appreciation for its valued Southern Ontario dealer partners. Hankook Tire hosted it to showcase its commitment to the continued growth of its relationships with its group of retail partners.

Hankook Tire Canada was able to leverage its partnership with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) for the event. Its retailer partners had the opportunity to play against Maple Leaf alumni in a game of shinny.

Hockey icons Shayne Corson and Darcy Tucker were amongst the alumni present this year.

Eighty guests from 13 dealer groups across Southern Ontario attended the 2019 Dealer Appreciation Skate. The day started with a 45-minute free skate and was followed by two consecutive games of shinny. The two victorious teams faced-off in the finals. The winning team was crowned at the awards ceremony held after the games. The dealers ended the day with dinner at Real Sports Bar and Grill.

“Hankook Tire Canada hosts annual dealer appreciation events to celebrate and thank our valued dealer partners for their continued support of our brand and products,” said John Overing, Director Sales and Marketing, Hankook Tire Canada. “These events are always well-received and offer the opportunity for our Hankook team to engage directly with our partners. It’s a great privilege to be able to host our dealers and their friends and family, and we look forward to continuing this tradition!”
