Crave to release new hockey series 'Hockey Fanatics'

On Friday Feb. 6, Crave streaming service will release a new, eight-part docu-series, “Hockey Fanatics,” which brings hockey fans closer than ever to the game.

In the series, host Dave Foley (a hockey fan and comedian icon) travels across North America, where he meets with several celebrity guests to explore each city’s hockey fandom.

Foley stops in each city to sit down with superfans to discuss what their team means to them. Fans show off memorabilia collections and share their personal connections to the sport of hockey.

Each episode takes place in a different city. The locations featured are Nashville, Utah, Vancouver, St. Louis, Toronto, Montreal, Sunrise and Los Angeles.

Actor and avid Vancouver Canucks fan Jason Priestley is one of the many celebrity guests featured in the series.

“Dave and I have been friends for decades, so getting to spend the day with him and take in a hockey game was a really good time,” Priestley said in a statement. “I grew up in North Vancouver and the Canucks have always been my favorite hockey team since I was a kid. I did have the old 'stick in rink' jersey when I was a kid.”

The series also features several past and present NHL players, including Wendel Clark, Terry Crisp, Josh Doan, Sean Durzi, Jim Fox, Mark Fraser, Barret Jackman, Michael Kesselring, Mark Recchi, Luc Robitaille, Stan Smyl and Peter Worrell.

All eight episodes of the new series will be available on Friday to stream on Crave.
