Michael Bublé and Drew Scott are set to appear in a new Prime Video documentary series titled Hometown Giants, which shines a light on the prospects and pressures faced by young athletes in the Vancouver Giants junior hockey league.
The six‑episode run, slated for a fall launch, follows a handful of players as they navigate contract negotiations, training demands and the prospect of an NHL draft, offering a behind‑the‑scenes look at a pipeline that has produced several NHL stars.
Both Bublé and Scott are minority owners of the Vancouver Giants, a role that has given them a vested interest in the team’s on‑ice performance and community outreach. Their involvement was bolstered by a surprising tip from actor Ryan Reynolds, who offered counsel after a similar venture with a Welsh soccer club.
Reynolds’ blunt reaction — “What are you doing, idiots? You know what you’re getting into?” — captures the steep learning curve that comes with stepping into sports ownership, a lesson the duo says they are eager to put into practice.
The project also reflects a broader trend of Canadian celebrities investing in sports franchises, a move that blends entertainment capital with grassroots development and underscores the cultural significance of hockey in the country.
Star Power Meets Hockey
With the backing of Prime Video, the Property Brothers’ brand presence and Reynolds’ unconventional advice, Hometown Giants promises to blend entertainment storytelling with the gritty realities of junior hockey, setting the stage for a compelling look at the next generation of Canadian talent.
