The Great Canadian Hat Trick

“The Great Canadian Hat Trick” transforms the everyday pit stop into a distinctly Canadian moment by celebrating the road ritual with an unmistakable hockey gesture.

Created to promote Petro-Canada’s ice and car wash services, the campaign rewards customers for purchasing fuel, ice, and a car wash in a single visit. Customers who complete the “Hat Trick” unlock a limited-edition NHL hat, 3x Petro-Points, and a chance to win NHL playoff tickets.
