TORONTO — Prime Video is expanding its Canadian sports programming with Hometown Giants, a six-part hockey docuseries following Michael Bublé and Drew Scott as part-owners of the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants.
The series will premiere globally on October 16, with all six episodes available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. The production follows the Vancouver Giants through their 2025-26 season, combining behind-the-scenes access to the organization with the personal experiences of young players pursuing professional hockey careers.
Hometown Giants Goes Behind the Scenes of Vancouver Giants
Hometown Giants centres on Bublé, the Canadian singer and longtime hockey fan, and Scott, the television personality and entrepreneur, as they work with the organization during a season focused on returning the Giants to championship contention.
The Vancouver Giants have not won a WHL championship since 2007, adding pressure to a campaign marked by organizational changes and significant roster decisions.
With a new coach and general manager overseeing the team, the series documents front-office strategy, trades and the competitive pressures surrounding a major junior hockey franchise.
The production also examines how ownership, management and coaching decisions affect players whose careers can change quickly over the course of a WHL season.
Young Players Balance Hockey With Life Away From Home
Beyond competition on the ice, Hometown Giants focuses on the realities facing teenage athletes playing major junior hockey.
Many of the players are living away from their families while completing high school, developing relationships and attempting to establish themselves as potential NHL prospects. While professional hockey remains the goal, only a limited number will ultimately reach the NHL.
The series follows rookies adapting to the pace and physical demands of the WHL while veteran players compete to retain their roles. Families, coaches and team officials also feature prominently as the players navigate the pressures associated with elite junior hockey.
A demanding 15-day road trip becomes one of the season’s major tests, placing additional pressure on the team both on and off the ice.
Trade Deadline and NHL Ambitions Drive Season’s Drama
The documentary tracks several players as the Giants approach the trade deadline and make decisions that could shape the remainder of their season.
Top prospect Ryan Lin faces heightened attention as his development continues, while Torretto Marrelli battles to maintain his position with the club. Injuries further complicate the team’s plans as management evaluates roster moves during a critical stage of the season.
Those developments provide the backdrop for a broader examination of major junior hockey, where players are simultaneously competing for team success and attempting to improve their prospects for professional careers.
The series provides access to players, their families, coaches and owners, showing how decisions made throughout the season can influence both the franchise and individual career paths.
Prime Video Expands Canadian Sports Programming
Hometown Giants is produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment in association with Amazon MGM Studios. Its October debut adds another Canadian sports-focused production to Prime Video’s growing programming slate.
The streaming service has been increasing its presence in live sports in Canada, with programming that includes NBA coverage and NHL on Prime Wednesday Night Hockey. Prime Video also carries other sports properties including the WNBA and Professional Women’s Hockey League alongside its broader catalogue of films, television series and original productions.
The addition of Hometown Giants gives Prime Video another hockey-focused title aimed at Canadian audiences while also making the story of the Vancouver Giants available internationally.
All six episodes of Hometown Giants will be released simultaneously on Friday, October 16, offering viewers a full-season look inside the franchise and the personal and professional pressures surrounding players pursuing their NHL ambitions.
