'Skates and Plates' cooking show premieres this week

NEW YORK/TORONTO -- The new cooking show "Skates & Plates" and the finale of "NHL's Who Wore It Best?" highlight the National Hockey League's programming schedule for the week of June 8.

"Skates & Plates"

The NHL has added another show to its roster of fun, creative and entertaining original programming for hockey fans during the pause in its season.

The new cooking series, "Skates & Plates," will feature celebrity chefs remotely teaching NHL players how to prepare a restaurant-caliber dish at home. In the first episode, chef Ludo Lefebvre helps Nashville Predators forward (and amateur chef) Nick Bonino make steak Diane and pommes frites, one of the dishes served at Lefebvre's Los Angeles restaurant, Petit Trois.

Created and distributed by NHL Original Productions, "Skates & Plates" will premiere on Wednesday, June 10, at 4 p.m. ET on NBCSN and Sportsnet. NHL Network™ will air the episode on Thursday, June 11, at 9:30 p.m. ET. Watch a preview here.

The recipe for each dish prepared on the show will be made available to fans at NHL.com and the NHL's Twitter channel. Fans are encouraged to share snapshots of their homemade attempts at the recipes on social media with the hashtag #hockeyathome.

In episode two, chef Marc Forgione coaches New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba on how to prepare one of his favorite dishes from Forgione's eponymous New York City restaurant. Air dates and times for the second episode will be announced next week.
