DVD Set: “Making the Cut” 3-Disc Set – CBC 2004

Who will make the cut? Join 68 hearty Canadian souls in their quest for a last chance at glory in this exciting, dramatic documentary series, aired on Canada’s CBC Television Network during the 2004-05 NHL lockout. Through a mix of heartwarming personal back-stories, dramatic behind-the-scenes footage, and intense on-ice action, “Making the Cut” takes you through a gruelling summer training camp that, in the end, will reward NHL training camp tryouts to only the top six competitors. Following ahead with nearly six hours of footage from the series, you will follow this eclectic band of talented men looking for one last crack at the big time, trying to impress a group of veteran NHL scouts, agents, and executives to survive the cuts and earn a shot at glory. Led by legendary NHL coaches Scotty Bowman and Mike Keenan, the executive staff reduces the roster to 18 for a final dramatic live game broadcast, after which the winners are crowned. With special features that include outtakes, highlight action, and a listing of every single individual (over 4,000) who took part in the cross-Canada show tryouts, this DVD package is truly something special. For hockey fans looking for something inspiring, competitive, dramatic, and addictive, Making the Cut is for you!
