CITY in Canada will televise "Rogers Hometown Hockey" on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET, prior to the game between the Vancouver Canucks and Arizona Coyotes. The show will also air on NHL Network in the U.S. The location this week is Prince George, British Columbia, and the half-hour program will celebrate the city's iconic hockey story.
Among the features airing on the pregame show:
* Zdeno Chara left his native Slovakia after he was drafted by the New York Islanders. Before he began his NHL career, he spent a season with the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League.
* Vancouver Canucks defenseman Dan Hamhuis is part of a new Cougars ownership group hoping to add credibility to the franchise and lead it back to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
* The Harkins family has deep ties to the Cougars: Father Todd is the general manager, son Jansen is a current center and draft-eligible prospect, and his brother Nicklas is the equipment manager.
