The Coupe Charles-Bruneau in Montreal: A Look Back at a Day That Brings Us Together

September 26, 2026

Hard-fought games, teams pulling together, and children at the heart of all the action. On September 26, the Coupe Charles-Bruneau brought together a community at IGA Stadium ready to give their all for pediatric cancer research.

Together, you helped raise $1,365,000. A result that deserves a big celebration—just like the people and moments that made this day so special.

Relive the day in this video:

The Coupe, as Seen by Those We Play For

This year, our Heroes and Heroines had a very special mission: to capture their day through their own eyes. With their phones in hand, they gave us their unique perspective on the event.

The result? An album that brings us closer to their experience and reminds us why this day matters so much.

To continue the day, Loïk and Rafael—the two brothers who are the heroes of the event—also take us along for their day. It’s another way to experience the Coupe, alongside those for whom this entire community is rallying.

Public Figures Who Gave It Their All

The All-Star Game is one of those events you don’t want to miss. Public figures lace up their sneakers, grab their sticks, and join in the fun for a good cause.

But between pre-game and post-game, is the energy still the same? We asked them that question. We’ll let you discover the results for yourself!

See the celebrities before and after the game:

Comedian and friend of the Foundation, Alexandre Bisaillon, also had some fun showing that the Coupe Charles-Bruneau is for everyone… really, everyone!

It’s all about teamwork!

What if this day also gave you a chance to get to know your coworkers in a new light? Encouraging one another, communicating, and helping each other out: team spirit is built through action. At the Cup, team building comes with a ball hockey stick and a shared cause.
