Moovair named Exclusive Heating and Cooling Partner of the CHL
Partnership highlights Moovair's continued growth as a leading Canadian home-comfort brand while connecting with fans across the WHL, OHL and QMJHL through season-long activations, national broadcasts and marquee CHL events
TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) today announced a new partnership with Moovair that spans the CHL and its Member Leagues — the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL), and Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Under the agreement, the Canadian home-comfort brand becomes the Exclusive Heating and Cooling Partner of the CHL and an Official Partner of the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL.
Built around a shared belief in bringing comfort to moments that matter, the partnership will connect Moovair with fans and families across all Member Leagues through engaging in-arena promotions, digital and broadcast exposure, and activations at the CHL's two marquee events. As one of Canada's fastest-growing heat pump brands, Moovair is built specifically for Canadian homes, climates and communities. This partnership extends that connection coast to coast, bringing the brand closer to hockey fans in communities where many of our customers, contractors and dealer partners live and work. Whether fans are enjoying time together at home or cheering on their favourite team at the rink, Moovair will help make those experiences more comfortable.
"Moovair and the CHL are a natural fit. We share a passion for performance, a commitment to excellence and deep roots in the communities we serve. CHL communities are our communities, and we're proud to be part of them," stated Keith Strachan, President of The Master Group—the organization behind the exclusive private-label Moovair brand. "As Moovair continues to grow across Canada, this partnership provides an exciting opportunity to connect with families in a meaningful way while reinforcing the trust, reliability and comfort that define our brand."
"Moovair's focus on bringing comfort to moments that matter makes it an ideal partner for the CHL and our Member Leagues, as the excitement of our game brings families and communities together," said Ryan Hudecki, Vice-President of Partnerships for the CHL. "From rewarding fans in arenas throughout the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL to supporting our signature CHL events, this partnership will create memorable experiences for fans while strengthening Moovair's ties with hockey communities across Canada."
During the regular season, Moovair will connect with fans across the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL through a range of in-venue activations, including the "Moovair Moov of the Game," an in-arena seat upgrade for two fans. The seat-upgrade activation will take place at 75 regular-season games in 15 markets: Brandon, Calgary, Lethbridge, Penticton, and Swift Current in the WHL; Barrie, Kingston, Kitchener, Niagara, and Oshawa in the OHL; and Blainville-Boisbriand, Charlottetown, Moncton, Newfoundland, and Sherbrooke in the QMJHL. Moovair will also engage fans through in-venue activations at five games in Edmonton.
Moovair's presence will also extend across the digital platforms of the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL through web advertising and inclusion in e-newsletters. Each CHL national broadcast will also feature Moovair rinkboard exposure and a dedicated branded feature. Together, these activations will give Moovair a national platform to engage with hockey fans while continuing to build awareness of a Canadian brand trusted in homes across the country.
The partnership builds on Moovair's role as a partner of the 2026 Memorial Cup presented by Kubota in Kelowna, British Columbia. The expanded CHL partnership represents another milestone in Moovair's continued national growth and investment in community-based brand building. As the Exclusive Heating and Cooling Partner of the CHL, Moovair will continue to connect comfort with memorable hockey experiences through a range of fan engagement initiatives at the 2026 CHL USA Prospects Challenge on Dec. 1 in Chicoutimi and Dec. 2 in Québec City, Québec, and at the 2027 Memorial Cup presented by Kubota from May 20–30 in Guelph, Ontario, including the "Moovair Moov of the Game" seat upgrade at both events.
Together, Moovair, the CHL, and its Member Leagues will continue creating fan experiences that connect the comfort of home with the excitement of live hockey at CHL events and throughout the WHL, OHL, and QMJHL.
