Through the multi-year extension, Tim Hortons will continue having a national marketing presence across league touchpoints in Canada, including the NHL's linear, digital, and social channels, digitally enhanced dasherboards, camera-visible in-arena inventory during games and events, and broadcast integrations across Rogers in Canada.
