Montreal – Manulife Bank announced today that it will be the exclusive banking services partner for the Laval Rocket during the 2019-2020 season. Manulife Bank will be present at all home games at Place Bell in Laval, where fans can play games and win prizes while learning more about the innovative banking services that Manulife Bank offers Quebecers, such as its new, one-of-a-kind All-In Banking Package.
“Just like savings, hockey is part the lives of many generations of Quebecers,” said Richard Payette, President and CEO, Manuvie Québec. “Our association with the Laval Rocket is an excellent opportunity to promote healthy living through physical activity and the importance of maintaining good financial health using simple tools on your smart phone.
