Empire Communities and Hamilton Tiger-Cats Announce Exclusive Partnership Bringing Homeowners Closer to the Team


Vaughan, ON, June 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empire Communities and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have teamed up to provide homeowners across Southwestern Ontario with behind-the-scenes access and exclusive football experiences throughout the 2018 CFL season. The partnership promises to bring Empire homeowners and Hamilton’s local team closer together through online content, game day events and ticket giveaways offering football fans VIP access to their favourite Tiger-Cats.

Each week, a new episode of the Beyond the Stripes vlog series will air on YouTube, providing an inside look into the life of Tiger-Cats players and their connection with the community. From videos on getting game day ready, to the team’s favourite spots in Hamilton, off-duty activities and behind-the-scenes fun at Tim Horton’s Field, viewers will have the opportunity to be a part of the action.

“Empire has been long-time supporters of community events and local sports teams in the communities we build in, so we are very excited to be working with the Tiger-Cats to bring our homeowners unprecedented access through the 2018 season,” says Sue MacKay, VP of Marketing at Empire Communities. “Local sports have a positive impact on community togetherness, overall wellness and local pride, which is why a partnership that brings our homeowners and their local team closer together was such an amazing opportunity for us to be part of.”

For 25 years, Empire has been building master-planned communities in Southwestern Ontario and shares a love for sports and community unity with their homeowners. As many of the master-planned communities they build in are located in and around the Hamilton area, their local team has always been the Tiger-Cats and this exclusive partnership promises great potential for what the future will bring for these two organizations.

“We’re extremely proud to welcome Empire Communities, one of Canada’s largest integrated master-planned community homebuilders, to the Tiger-Cats corporate partner family,” said Matt Afinec, Executive Vice President, Business Operations for the Tiger-Cats. “We share a passion for the people in our community and we’re excited to join forces with an organization that provides families and individuals with a place they can call home in our own backyard.”
