Tim Hortons says Hockey is Hers with Tim Hortons Barbie dolls

Tim Hortons teamed up with Barbie and hockey stars Marie-Philip Poulin and Sarah Nurse to show girls that they can be anything, including a hockey player. As part of the partnership, Tim Hortons launched Tim Hortons Hockey Barbie dolls with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Hockey Canada Foundation.

The campaign aims to bring awareness to the underrepresentation of girls in youth hockey. "We're proud that the sales of the Tim Hortons Hockey Barbie dolls in our restaurants will help young girls get into the sport and also provide resources to grow and support the women's game," said Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer at Tim Hortons.

Through the program, Tim Hortons is donating over $215,000 to the Hockey Canada Foundation. This announcement follows Team Canada bringing home the gold medal at the 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championship.
