Timbits Hockey is a foundation to promote children's hockey. They also sponsor children with low-income families so that children can participate.

They also sponsor a summer camp for low income kids so they can experience nature and get away from the city for awhile. It's the smile cookie campaign.

They also sponsor soccer in the summer.

A point you might have miss is Sidney Crosby was in Tim Hortons ttimbits hockey as a kid. Which is a great program that gives kids a chance to skate and play hockey.

Tim bits hockey is a foundation. They have one for kids camps as well.

The video that starts at 4:30 seems to be a troll video with the sound of the previous video with footage of some of the worst/big hits in hockey. I believe it was a mockery of the video. Surprised it made it in.

I thought exactly the same, Tims would not want to be associated with that side of the game - and nor would the NHL

Another item you may be interested in are the Hockey Night in Canada intros. It's part of Cdn culture where there would always be a hockey game on Saturday night where Cdns would gather to watch it. The original theme is also very iconic here. Even when the Stanley Cup is won by an American team the players have a day with the trophy and many return to their hometown Cdn town where citizens from that city can touch and see the Cup. It links these bigtime hockey players with the communities.

Wonderful commercials! I haven’t seen all of them before so I’m glad to see them now. I live in Vancouver and was here for the 2010 Olympic final. The city went crazy that night 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Tim Horton's also sponsors kids soccer. My baby sister was in the Timbits soccer league when she was just wee. I remember going to her first game. I asked "Why is Leah wearing pants and everyone else is wearing shorts?" I about died laughing when I found out she was wearing shorts. Its just that she was so short compared to the other kids, that her knee pads went from the bottom of her shorts past the top of her socks so it altogether looked like pants! 😂

There is a whole other series of Tim’s commercials that feature Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon together. The two are great buddies and the ads are more on the comical/goofy side. There’s one that stands out in my mind that involves farting goalie pads 😂. It’s actually really cute, but you’d have to see it to fully appreciate it! ps Both Sid and Nate are from Nova Scotia 😁

I am not sure, but I think the commercial that ended with a plea to the NHL was not an official Tim Horton's commercial. It's a valid message though - headshots in hockey have always looked spectacular, but they lead to awful health consequences - and have nothing to do with good play. NHL has always been a "full contact" sport, but attempts to injure have no place in the sport at any level. NHL hasn't always been proactive with respect to player safety, and players frequently have to retire early in their careers because of repeated concussions. There have been great strides made since the 90s to protect players from unsafe play, but there is still more to do. Also - Tim Horton was more than "just a hockey player" - he was one of the best defencemen of his era, and one of the strongest men every to play in the NHL. He started up the chain in the 70s, and it was just starting to spread out from it's Hamilton, Ontario roots when he died after crashing his car on the highway between Toronto and Buffalo - after driving while under the influence. A tragic end to a beloved player in both cities. His number has been retired in Toronto, and he's in the Hockey Hall of Fame. These days, though - most people just know the donut shop, and not the man. Loved your hockey reactions, hope you get back to doing more of them as the season starts.

I agree.. I never saw that on my tv... a convulsing player on the ice is hardly the image any biz would want to be identified with. It may be an important message delivered for a good cause, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong in this compilation.

Tim Hortons was a famous hockey player. When the kids come out at half time, the are called Timbits.

My daughter played soccer as a TimBit when she was younger and after the game, the kids would go to Timmies. On the inside of the bottom of the jersey, it's written "I just played. I'm thirsty!" Upon showing it, they get a free drink and timbits. I love this country! 🇨🇦❤

two of my sons still play hockey and they are in their sixties.❤

The best one of Tim Hortons Hockey commercials was definitely the away game. It was when they flew the only team in Africa to Canada so they could play their first opponents. It was a once in a lifetime trip for those players. The commercial is available on youtube as well as a short documentary about the whole experience.

The Tim Horton commercials featuring Sidney Crosby are always some of the most impactful, classiest ads you’ll ever see on Canadian television. I’ve never tired of seeing them and have always loved them. (As a side note, Sidney Crosby is an extremely humble, kind and gracious person.)🇨🇦🥰❤️🏒🥅

Ya I'm addicted to Tim's coffee, what's with that? The local timmies sponsor free family skating in our area every winter😊

6 am - Tim`s, 30 km drive, coach son`s game. Blizzard after game. Hit Tim`s for lunch, hot chocolate. Drive home, 30 km / hr.. Next weekend, same. Hockey and Tims and snow equals a good day. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thanks for volunteering as a coach. Yes, I know your own kid is benefiting from your involvement, but so are many other kids who may not be able to participate without the time and dedication of volunteers. All our volunteers are appreciated. ❤

As much as I dislike Tim's as a company, timbits hockey is actually great and pretty much universally celebrated. I was too poor to play ice hockey as a kid (it's generally expensive to participate, especially here in BC where kids have to travel long distances to play games at the rep level.) If I had access to timbits hockey I may have been able to play. Tidbits does a great job of promoting youth sports and also enabling low income families to participate.

I've had the pleasure of attending 7 Winnipeg Jets home games. This is actually not easy, in order to prove financial viability for the team to relocate here from Atlanta, the would-be owners decided to sell 13,000 season tickets (for an arena that seats only 15,000). These season tickets sold out in 1 minute. It's almost impossible to get tickets to a game. In fact, there is a monthly 'lottery', where the winner gets to *buy* tickets to a game. Anyways, the timbits come out to play during intermission, and it is very adorable to watch :)

I also want to add, you can't match the energy of the crowd at a Winnipeg Jets home game. You can't help but get swept up in it. One of the seven games I watched in person, vs Calgary, we were always down by a goal, and always rallying to tie. We scored one of those incredible late-game goals, a face-off with 2.7 seconds left when we were down by one. We scored off that faceoff, forcing overtime. Overtime was scoreless, and the game went to a shoot-out. I'm sure you've looked at some videos on the NHL shootout on your other channel, so when I say this one took eight rounds you probably get the anticipation and energy, the whole crowd on their feet, cheering as loud as they could...

Hockey’s back baby 🇨🇦🏒👊let’s goooooo 🤘

Tim Horton was a professional Hockey player in the sixties that loved donuts. He was a a big strong D-man. He was playing for the Buffalo Sabres when he perished in a car accident driving home to Hamilton Ontario.

The "Name" 2015 Stanley Cup commercial is one of my favourites.

Lol. That is soooo Canadian. As they said. Haaaaaaahkey is ours. We love it.

Many may not agree with me but the hard body checking became a tactic to take out key players. This, to me, was not playing a clean, honest game. I was so glad when they started to control this unnecessary, damaging aggressiveness. No one should be permanently injured just to take one out of the game so their team can win....

Back in the 70’s in our town, we had a high school hockey team. They would have pep rally’s in the gymnasium (during class time) often as they played other high school small town teams every Friday night. Lol, I didn’t mind.

Ahhhh retro classic TIm Hortons. When it used to be owned by Canadians

I assume others have said that Tim Horton was a great NHL player. In the offseason he and a buddy bought a piece of Property in Hamilton Ontario. Tim and his buddy Doug the hole and poured/layed the foundation for the 1st Tim Horton's store that opened in 1964. It is still open and running today.

There was a huge scandal involving Hockey Canada that came to light last year. Tim Horton's who have long been a supporter of all levels of hockey players but they withdrew their sponsorship for the men's hockey. Several allegations of sexual misconduct towards young men. Tim Horton is a legend here at least from people who are old enough or study the history of hockey. He died tragically in his sports car on his way to Buffalo back in the 1970's. I'm too young to remember him playing by a couple of years but he's a legend in Toronto. In 2017 on the 100th Anniversary of the NHL they did a list of the 100 best players in the history of the NHL. He was one of the players mentioned. He was a huge part of the Maple Leafs dynasty of the 1960's. His number has been retired by both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres. It's rare for a player to have a team retire your number but even more rare to have your number retired in more than one city. 4 Stanley Cups, numerous other awards and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

That 3rd 9ne had to be a fan made post

Tim Horton was an NHL player for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 2 are synonymous

Ex Toronto Maple Leafs player Ilya Mikheyev did a Campbell's soup commercial. It became an instant favourite for fans and earned him the nickname "Soup", lol

The candy at the end was Haribo.. you should try to find their commercials online! 😂

LSome of my childhood memories involve hockey . Hockey night in Canada and dad on the living room pounding the floor urging his team to get the puck into the net. I remember how upset my Grandmother was when her doctor advised her not to watch hockey night in Canada he didn’t think her heart could withstand that much stress. I am amazed at how much I know about hockey the names and teams i remember asking Daddy what inning are they playing in the hopes that it would soon be overhe explained that he had no idea so far the teams were tied and it could go into overtime. Disappointing news for me. I have never watched a whole game from the time the anthems were sung and the first puck was dropped and the triumphant teammates gathered to celebrate their victory . Before I was born my mother managed a Girls baseball team . Now that I am in my seventies I watch the Savanna Bananas play the party guys I never watch the live shows to much baseball mixed with the comedy on you tube but I love the shorts . I don’t think I was a major disappointment for my parents 😮maybe perhaps sort of. I can’t sing , skate, throw a ball so it can hit the side of a barn.. the only use I have for hockey sticks is to spell H Edouble hockey sticks. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts on hockey etc. football American style loved seeing men in tight pants in a huddle. Why does anybody watch people chase little white balls. Basketball is slightly better especially when on of the players puts the ball through a hoop, or is it a basket with a graceful shot from some line . I wanted to edit the last line but my fingers are to fat or something there is on when I meant one. . I think Red Green said keep your stick on the ice 👍👍👍🤓🖖🖖🖖👋🏻🧝🏼🤚🏻

Tim Horton, himself was a Canadian hockey player!! He played for Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Pittsburg Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres NHL hockey teams. He died from a car crash at the age of 44, in 1974. Fun fact!!! He and I share birthdays!! Jan 12!!!

Another NHL player, Nathan MacKinnon, is from the same community in Nova Scotia. They do commercials together for Tim's and they are shorter than these but really funny. Check them out.

Timbits are basically donut holes so mini donuts. Timbits hockey is minor hockey sponsored by Tim Hortons

I’ve never forgotten Tim Hortons snubbing of the oil sands, haven’t been able to look at them the same since. 😔 I may not work in the oil sands, but I am working in the Cold well part of our oil industry, and was disappointed to see that Tim Hortons doesn’t support a very big Canadian industry, they caved to the ones that didn’t like the oil sands ads that they were running at one point.

Tim Horton’s hasn’t been a Canadian owned company for many years. It no longer surprises me to see them support Brazil, Mexico, and other national teams, instead of Canadians. We definitely need a new CANUCK company supporting our teams…both the older boys…down to the wee little ones, just learning to get their balance and skate!🇨🇦☺🇨🇦

Look for videos of Sid and Nathan MacKinnon. There is one where they are working the drive through at Tim's in Cole Harbour, NS (where Sid is from). It's pretty funny.

The TimBits connection is heart-warming indeed, but even if you know about Tim Horton's hockey antecedents, it's the perfect symmetry of Canadian hockey history these adverts represent that get to me. Horton started his coffee shop not long before dying, way too young, and though he didn't create Tim-Bits that I'm aware of, it's part of the lore of Canuckian Hockey, based entirely on truth, that success in hockey is and always has been a matter of the support family, friends, coaches and so many others that NHL players got on "the way up." Watch some Hockey Hall of Fame acceptance speeches, mind the awkward speaking, and get out your hankies.

No mention of Tim Horton, a famous hockey player himself who turned Tim Hortons into the coffee /donut empire….lol

Michael J Fox once said (paraphrase) Canada is known as a polite nation but our nations sport involves kicking the crap out of the opposite team - are we really so polite.

I would have liked some actual footage of Tim Horton playing hockey.

Timbits sponsors youth hockey and soccer. They might even do baseball but I don't know about it personally like the others.

The segment with all the dirty head shots was a bit disturbing. I’m doubt Tim’s would want to be associated with that and it certainly makes the NHL look bad. There are a few career-ending and life altering hits there. Something is off. I think it’s fake, although the on-ice action is certainly real.

Tim Horton sucks now most people who want a real coffee go to a local coffee shops They do have great advertisment though I am embarrased that out of country people think that we love the coffee We don't.

I know people will say this is downright treasonous, but I hate NHL hockey. To me, it's just thugs on ice. I can watch Olympic hockey and women's hockey, but I can't watch NHL hockey. Baseball is my passion, especially Blue Jays baseball. With the Blue Jays, it's "keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times"; it's always a rollercoaster ride, and I love it.

I am a little confused about you connection to Canada or your understanding. Did you basically just live in one of Canada's 3 big cities? Toronto, Montreal or Vancouer. None of those places represent Canada. They represent international corporate cities. They are all the same around the world. I don get your schtick.

Tim Hortons. The worst coffee in the history of Coffee. Capitalized on Canadians love for Hockey.

I would almost say Canadians are more pationat about hockey than dare. I say Americans are to football. Tidbits Hockey would be like a big British company supporting children's soccer.

Timmy Ho's has gone down hill since a USA company purchased. Staff mean nothing, the hockey program means little now. Years ago any child got equipment to assure play and possible future. No longer so. Bottom line TH is cheaper than Starbucks. Quality is in the toilet. Everything is baked and frozen before sold to store's. You must not realize it was owned by a hockey legend. He wanted kids to have a chance.

1 Do not like Tim Horton (A and W is much better) and have no clue who is Sidney Crosby is. Love hockey? Not Hardly! skating back and forth to stick some hunk of rubber into a net and fighting for no reason. Waist of time. CFL rules and in winter skiing is where its at

Tim Hortons is awful. Their coffee is nasty, their food arrives frozen or freeze dried and is either heated up, or just boiled to reconstitute. They were never great, but they have seriously gone down hill over the years. Their service has also become computerized and totally impersonal. I prefer to drink coffee from a gas station.

Canadians show their love for hockey by building only two NHL arenas in the 21st Century (2004 and 2016). Well, it could be worse; none of the measly three stadiums that seat at least 50K people is under 40 years old.

Canadian laws prevent cities from paying for stadiums and stuff - that was always the row with expansion in the '90s. An American city could pay for a stadium, pay for roads and infrastructure, give deals on utilities etc. which eft them free to spend their money on players, while Canadian teams hd to raise their own money or investors and whatever was left could be spent on the team.
