The CBC and the NHL will help answer your curiosities with a seven-part series called NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other from executive producer Ross Greenburg, the former president of HBO Sports and winner of more than 50 Sports Emmys.

The series, which premieres Jan. 23 on CBC and will also be broadcast in the United States by NBC Sports Network, will tell the stories of more than two dozen of the NHL's top stars -- on and off the ice -- as they participate in the Coors Light Stadium Series and the Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic outdoor games. The series will also follow NHL stars to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Multiple camera crews are being assigned to the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, Pittsburgh Penguins, Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators for more than eight hours a day over 100 days of shooting, creating hundreds of hours of material that will be edited down to seven hours for television.

NHL stars such as Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby, Chicago’s Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, Vancouver’s Daniel and Henrik Sedin, the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist, and Jonathan Quick of Los Angeles are some of the players that will be featured.

It's similar to what HBO has done with its 24/7 series, only on a grander scale.

The series will premiere on January 23rd.

This is really cool! Looking forward to it.

Now I want the Canucks to do their own reality series, akin to the Canadiens' '24CH' or the Bruins' 'Behind the B'.

 

[RingWraith]

Sounds really cool for sure, but I fear CBC will just produce a "Disney" version of what HBO did so well.

 

[CRDragon]

CBC's doing this and no Leafs? What? Am I missing something?

Totally looking forward to it.

Totally looking forward to it.

They will be on HBO 24/7 I believe, a full series, whereas these will be partial over all teams.

Well they got the Ex-President of HBO Sports on the job, so hopefully it will be up to those standards.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

Can't wait to see how much CBC drags them through the mud.

Can't wait to see how much CBC drags them through the mud.

If Ron McLean's in any way involved with the production, guaranteed I won't be watching. I'd end up putting a chair through my tv.

There should be no part of McLean involved in any way.

Community men? Model citizens? See who the Sedins really are on this week's episode of NHL: Revealed.

 

[Wilch]

Watch CBC somehow portray the Sedins as the second coming of Hitler and Stalin.

 

[Taelin]

Watch CBC somehow portray the Sedins as the second coming of Hitler and Stalin.

To be honest, that'd be an amazing feat in itself.

Watch CBC somehow portray the Sedins as the second coming of Hitler and Stalin.

With hrudy interrupting to lather love all over whoever the opposing goalie is....

I'm sure he'll manage to sneak in some henrik diving clips somehow. Character assassination coming up.

 

[Amused To Death]

Hopefully this gets a little love fest going for the Sedins league-wide and subsequently they get a few more calls going their way.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

Cant wait for CBC to ask them a billion questions about the loss to Boston

 

[VanCanucks53]

It's not focused just on the Sedins, it'll be the whole team. But I was pretty excited to see some behind the scenes stuff from the Canucks but then I realized it's only 7 hours for 9 teams. Too many teams to cover and not enough episodes.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

shame it won't be on HBO. you guys are criticizing CBC for the wrong reasons, you just know the production is going to be second rate

 

[mainly m]

heh. saw the sedins being interviewed on this and they seemed thrilled at the notion of being followed around by a camera crew. not.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

It's not a CBC original. Each episode is on the day prior in the U.S. so it's not a Canadian production.

 

[Tanevian*]

If Ron McLean's in any way involved with the production, guaranteed I won't be watching. I'd end up putting a chair through my tv.

Lol. As you see hear, Sedin tells Sedin to tell Burrows to dive.
