Anyone here watching "Hockeyville" on CBC?

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.

P.S. -- If you truly care about Ecto-Jedi, you'll vote for Chéticamp!

Very interesting. Considering I'm about 15 minutes from "The Center of the Hockey Universe", Toronto, my neighbourhood really wouldn't have been able to compete in the competition. I'll vote for you, pal. Good luck with that.

It's great to show a love of hockey, which is the greatest sport on the planet. Let's hope you win, that $50,000 towards the local arena sounds great.

Well, the third ep of Hockeyville is in the books and Chéticamp didn't get selected by the judges...So we really need your votes!!

We need all the votes we can get, to be quite honest with you, considering we're a relatively small town (population: 3,000) and the other communities have the edge on us because of their greater numbers (great numbers = more votes.) So please, it only takes a few seconds and you get one vote per e-mail adress...
