Our Game: A Minor Hockey Documentary
Released in the winter of 2017 on TELUS Optik TV VoD and STORYHIVE YouTube, the six-episode series follows several elite bantam hockey players leading up the WHL Draft.
The Dream
Meet Jack Finley, the 14-year old son of Jeff Finley, former NHL player and current scout for the Detroit Red Wings. Jack plays Bantam Tier One hockey in Kelowna, and is facing an elimination game vs Kamloops.
The Choice
Meet Hibiki, one of Japan's best young hockey players, who came to Canada to play with the best competition in the world. While he tries to make the Tier One team, Jack decides to take a new path with his career.
The Rivalry
We learn more about the Academy system, how it benefits a player's development, and how it differs from traditional small town hockey. Jack's new team prepares for a big game against their rivals at OHA in Penticton.
The Road
Road trips are a big part of the life of a hockey player. Follow along with Hibiki to Prince George, and learn more about the proud history of hockey there. Then join Jack in Abbotsford, with plenty of scouts looking on.
The Big Game
We spend an afternoon with a couple of wily NHL veterans from Victoria, before POE takes on Shawnigan Lake down the road. Then they return home for a big game with Delta for first place.
The Draft
Will POE win the championship? Will Jack and his teammates be drafted? Is the Academy system 'wiping out' minor hockey? Lots of questions... and lots of answers in the final episode!
