Let’s face it, most of the Super Bowl spots that become viral hits are American. So it’s with great pride that we present to you this spot for Budweiser Canada, which Fast Company speculates may just be the best Super Bowl spot out there (or at least of the ones released so far). Created by (ironically?) New York-based agency Anomaly, it shows what happens when Budweiser surprises a couple of recreational hockey teams in Port Credit, ON. with the full NHL treatment. If this spot doesn’t warm your heart, you must be dead inside…or maybe you’re just not Canadian.
