Prime Video will soon debut a docuseries that pulls back the curtain on the Vancouver Giants, the junior hockey franchise that has become a proving ground for teenage talent eyeing a spot in the National Hockey League. The project is a joint effort between singer‑songwriter Michael Bublé and television personality Drew Scott, both of whom have become part‑owners of the club.
Ownership and Ambition
Bublé first acquired a stake in the Giants in December 2008, drawn by the franchise’s community roots and the opportunity to mentor the next generation of athletes. Three years ago, Scott, best known for co‑hosting the HGTV series Property Brothers, joined the ownership group in September 2023, bringing his production expertise and a fresh media perspective to the table.
The series, tentatively titled Hometown Giants, will interweave on‑ice action with behind‑the‑scenes access to the players, coaches, and owners. It aims to spotlight the tough decisions teenage prospects face as they balance school, family expectations and the relentless pursuit of a professional contract.
The collaboration reflects a broader trend of entertainers investing in sports franchises. The recent success of Welcome to Wrexham, the documentary series fronted by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, demonstrated how celebrity involvement can revitalize a club’s profile and attract global attention. Both Bublé and Scott see the Giants as a platform to blend their creative sensibilities with a passion for hockey.
Set to premiere in the fall of 2026, the docuseries will be available exclusively on Prime Video, which is owned by Amazon MGM Studios. The partnership also includes NBC, where Bublé serves as a coach on the current season of The Voice, further cementing his connection to mainstream television.
Fans of the Giants and newcomers alike can look forward to a fresh, narrative‑driven look at a team that has long been a stepping stone for aspiring NHL stars. With the combined star power of Bublé’s musical legacy and Scott’s production pedigree, the series promises to be as compelling off the ice as the games themselves.
