KFC Canada Celebrates Montreal Canadiens' Playoff Run with Original Forum Seats and Hockey Superstitions
KFC Canada is showing its support for the Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs by incorporating hockey rituals and superstitions into its marketing strategy. The fast-food chain brought original Montreal Forum seats, steeped in the team's championship history, to various restaurants in Greater Montreal during the first two rounds of the playoffs. These seats have become a symbol of the team's spirit and energy for many fans.
As the Canadiens advance to Round 3, KFC is continuing to embrace the team's luck by uniting the original Forum seats with the iconic Colonel Sanders. Fans had the opportunity to sit in these historic seats, connect with the team's legacy alongside a fried chicken legend, and participate in a collective pre-game moment. KFC is also running a social media contest for superfans to win tickets to the game, further engaging with the passionate hockey community in Montreal.
Lauren Pottie, Senior Manager of Media and Partnerships at KFC Canada, emphasized the importance of amplifying the energy and passion of hockey in Montreal through authentic fan experiences. By reintroducing the Forum seats to the city, KFC aims to celebrate the Colonel's love for hockey and create a unifying moment for fans to rally around. The fast-food chain is committed to enhancing fan-led experiences and embracing hockey superstitions to connect with the community.
The Forum seats will be available at select KFC restaurants throughout the Canadiens' series, with a special appearance at the Bell Centre Fan Jam for Game 4. Fans are encouraged to visit these activations, take a seat in history, and contribute their luck to support the team. KFC's dedication to hockey culture and fan engagement underscores its commitment to being a part of the Montreal Canadiens' journey in the playoffs.
