Strap on the blades, grab some tape, you're going to camp!

A new reality type television show, will hit the airwaves next fall, and it's got to be a sure fire winner for Hockey fans across the HockeyNation. CBC is apparently on line with "Making the Cut", co sponsored by Molson Breweries. Making the Cut will hold "training" camps across Canada starting in May, giving hockey players of all abilities, one final chance to chase the dream.

It's expected that over 20,000 amateur would be stars will make the attempt at NHL glory, working their way through elimination rounds across the nation. With Jack Birch, a long time scout in the NHL handling the organization of coaches and evaluators for the series, participants can expect to be put through their paces.

The reward for working their way through the gruelling elimination sessions, will be an invitation to one of six NHL training camps across Canada in the late summer of 2004. The televised episodes will start in September and continue on CBC in prime time, until mid December.

Sharpen your skates, get those graphite sticks and get the gear out of the closet, you could be off to training camp by August!
