The McDonald’s Fan Zone will offer hockey fans of all ages an opportunity to take part in the action of the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, including appearances by Team Canada alumni, and interactive exhibits and displays hosted both outside the Bell Centre and inside the Windsor Station building on l’avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal in Montreal. In Toronto, the activities will be hosted outside of the west entrance of the Air Canada Centre along Bremner Boulevard.

In addition, the Hockey Canada Century Tour will roll into both Montreal and Toronto during the McDonald’s Fan Zone. The Century Tour, which is criss-crossing the country to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hockey Canada, includes a 20,000-square-foot interactive hockey experience and provides opportunities for young Canadians to try the game and learn more about the rich history of hockey in Canada.

The McDonald’s atoMc Hockey and Équipe McDoMD (in Quebec) programs build on a 40-year relationship with Hockey Canada; it is the only hockey initiative in the country that gives participating players the opportunity to proudly wear the same Hockey Canada logo on their jerseys as Team Canada.
