FACEOFF: Inside the NHL - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Best of Rivals
The Toronto Maple Leafs play under the brightest spotlight in hockey - and they haven't been to the Stanley Cup since 1967. Their newly minted superstar, William Nylander, has a $92 million contract, the weight of the world on his shoulders and a surprising best friend since he was 15 years old: David Pastrnak, the superstar on his most hated rival, the Boston Bruins.
As Tough as it Gets
Hockey Players are personified by one word: toughness. And two of the toughest players in the league, Filip Forsberg and Jack Eichel, are found in two of the most surprisingly hockey-mad cities in the NHL: Nashville and Vegas. Both of these warriors withstand great mental and emotional pain in order to achieve their goals. Our only question is: why do they do it?
An Education
It is a rare privilege to be witnessing the moment when a professional athlete takes the step into stardom, but that's just what we see with Bruins goalie, Jeremy Swayman during the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. A sharp contrast to Swayman's 2nd round opponent, Matthew Tkachuk who has found the perfect home as the hard-nosed leader of the Cup favorite Florida Panthers.
The Captains
In this episode we see three captains in very different phases of their careers: Quinn Hughes in his first year as a Captain in Vancouver, Gabe Landeskog in what could be his last year in Colorado, and Jacob Trouba in the middle. All three men have very different leadership styles, but they all personify a tradition that is purely hockey.
Cup or Bust Pt 1
For Connor McDavid, the stakes of winning or losing the Stanley Cup are ultimate: in a press conference at the end of last season, Connor said it out of his own mouth: "Next year, it's Cup or Bust." And with those words, the stage was set.
Cup or Bust Pt 2
In part 2 of Cup or Bust, we witness one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. As Connor McDavid "drags" the Panthers back to Alberta - Matthew Tkachuk and his family grapple with the thought of letting the Stanley Cup slip through his fingers for the second year in a row.

The Masked Singer
Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series.
Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews.
It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
Allegiance
Allegiance follows on identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system. Sabrina Sohal is a star rookie police officer who must grapple with the limits of the justice system as she fights to exonerate her politician father Ajeet Sohal. Sohal serves her diverse hometown of Surrey alongside Vince Brambilla, a veteran training officer who sees her potential but doesn't always agree with her forward-thinking methods. Allegiance is the story of a young woman caught between her allegiance to her flag, to her badge, and to her family.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
