Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody had heard of "Hockeyville" on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)? I'm unsure if Americans can even catch CBC, but do any other Canadians know of the show?
http://www.cbc.com/hockeyville/
I normally wouldn't bring it up, but my community (Chéticamp) has advanced into the top 50 communities vying for the top prize ($50,000 dollars of renovations to the local arena, plus the chance to host an NHL exhibition game.) All 50 communities who had the privilege to enter the top 50 were then asked to create 2-minute videos showing why they should be crowned Hockeyville...
And I am very excited to say that I am one of the volunteers who worked extensively on the video over the past week (along with numerous other members of our small Acadian community.) I actually edited the whole damn thing on my old PC -- (Phew! I thought my 'puter was going to melt right in front of my eyes!)
If you tune in to CBC this Wednesday (or the Wednesday after that) you'll be able to see the video I helped make, highlighting our great town and its hockey heritage. I act as narrator on the clip, too, so you'll be able to hear me as well. :) :lol:
P.S. -- If you truly care about Ecto-Jedi, you'll vote for Chéticamp! ;)
