Welcoming Fastco to the Stallions Family: Proud Sponsor of Blitz

The Saint-Lazare Stallions are thrilled to officially welcome Fastco to the Stallions family!

This season, Fastco has generously stepped forward as the official sponsor of Blitz, our Stallions mascot. Their support has helped bring Blitz to life and given our players, families and fans a new face for Stallions spirit — one that we know will become a big part of game days and community events for years to come.

While Blitz may be new to the sidelines this season, he’s already been busy making his way around our community! You may have spotted him joining in the fun at Football Day at Mount Pleasant Elementary School or proudly representing the Stallions at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Hudson.

Thanks to Fastco’s generous sponsorship, we’re excited to see Blitz continue making appearances throughout the community, cheering on our players and spreading Stallions spirit wherever he goes.

A Canadian Company With Local Roots

Fastco’s story is especially meaningful to the Stallions. While the company has grown into an industry leader serving customers across Canada and North America, it has strong roots right here in our community, making this partnership a natural connection between two organizations with ties to the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region.

Here is a little more about Fastco:

Fastco, a privately owned and operated Canadian company and one of North America’s largest alloy wheel manufacturers, was founded by Glenn Chaplin in 1989 and acquired by Groupe Touchette in 2023, and is today recognized as Canada’s leading alloy wheel manufacturer. Specializing in both original equipment and aftermarket products, our proprietary brands include Fast Wheels, Fast HD Series, Braelin, Replika, Dialyn, and Fast EV, our new line of custom alloy wheels dedicated to electric vehicles. In addition, Fastco also distributes OE-quality replacement steel wheels as well as a wide selection of nationally recognized tire brands, with full mounting and balancing services available.

More Than a Sponsorship

For the Stallions, sponsorships aren't simply about putting a company logo on a jersey, banner or mascot. They're about building relationships with businesses and organizations that believe in youth sports and the communities they serve.

As a volunteer-run, non-profit football association, support from sponsors like Fastco helps us continue creating opportunities and memorable experiences for our young athletes both on and off the field.

Every time Blitz runs onto the field, poses for a photo with one of our young players, visits a community event or gets our sidelines cheering, Fastco’s contribution will be part of that experience.

Blitz represents the energy, pride and sense of belonging we want every Stallion to feel when they put on the burgundy and white.

And thanks to Fastco, Blitz is officially part of the Herd.

Bringing Two Families Together

A special thank you goes to Coach Dan, Head Coach of our Mosquito team, who helped make this partnership possible. It was Coach Dan who made the introduction between the Fastco and Stallions families, bringing together two organizations with a shared connection to our community.

We’re incredibly grateful to Dan for making that connection and helping turn an introduction into a partnership that will have a lasting impact on the Stallions.

It’s another great example of what #OneHerd is all about — people within our organization coming together, building connections and finding new ways to support our players and our football community.

Thank You, Fastco!

On behalf of the Saint-Lazare Stallions Board of Directors, our coaches, volunteers, players and families, we would like to extend a huge thank you to Fastco for their generous sponsorship and support of our association.

Community partnerships like this make a real difference for our organization and the young athletes we serve. We’re incredibly excited to have Fastco riding alongside the Herd and to have Blitz bringing even more Stallions spirit to our fields and our community.

Welcome to the Stallions family, Fastco — and thank you for bringing Blitz to life!
