Hockey may have been benched for the last year and a half, but the time has come to get your skates sharpened and tape up your sticks. Minor league hockey is coming back and so are the Esso Medals of Achievements.

For the past 40 years, Imperial Oil has proudly sponsored the Esso Medals and Certificates of Achievement program in the spirit of continuing hockey journeys. This program helps coaches of young hockey players across Canada recognize dedication, effort and fair play. We believe the most important goals in hockey never show up on the scoreboard.

This free program awards in a variety of ways, starting with a set of three Esso Medals of Achievement:

• Most Dedicated

• Most Improved

• Most Sportsmanlike

Also available are:

• A set of 18 Certificates of Participation autographed by the 2021 Canadian World Junior Team Captains and Canadian Women's National Team Captains
• Plus 20 digital Fuel Discount Cards, which are available to every hockey team registered with Hockey Canada, while quantities last.
  • Our mission involves helping families to and from the rink. That's why we encourage coaches and league organizers to distribute the digital Fuel Discount Cards as soon as orders are processed, so that families can enjoy them all season long.
  • Save 5 cents per litre up to 100L at Esso^TM and Mobil^TM stations and for every litre purchased with the digital Fuel Discount Card, an additional 1 cent per litre will be donated by Esso to the Hockey Canada Foundation. The Esso Medals ofAchievement program has helped donate over $300,000 towards the Hockey Canada Foundation and their grassroots initiatives and we look forward to scoringmore goals off the ice this year.
  • Digital Fuel Discount Cards expire September 30th, 2022. Limit of one Fuel Discount Card issued per email address. Terms and Conditions apply.

At its core, the Esso Medals of Achievement program is the same. Still celebrating our young hockey players and rewarding them for their dedication, improvement, and sportsmanship on and off the ice— but this year, we've added a new component - Esso Badges of Achievement.

These new badges empower coaches to celebrate the efforts your players show throughout each game. Every badge is a sticker awarded to a player for a game changing moment that can be proudly displayed on their helmet for the season. Because we believe the most important goals in hockey never show up on the scoreboard.
