Singer Michael Bublé and PROPERTY BROTHERS star Drew Scott want viewers of HOMETOWN GIANTS to see more than future hockey stars: they want them to see the young people growing up behind the jerseys.
“Whether somebody likes hockey or not, you’ll connect with the kids, especially through to the end; you’ll really connect with the emotional journey,” Scott told TV Insider.
The six-part Prime Video documentary series follows the Vancouver Giants during their 2025-26 season, with Bublé and Scott participating as part-owners. For both men, the project brings a hometown commitment into the spotlight, rather than simply putting two familiar faces beside a hockey rink.
In the interview, Bublé recalled asking Scott to join him as a way to give back to the community where they grew up. He said their early discussions did not revolve around how much money they might make, and he emphasized the responsibility that comes with helping young players develop.
“…it was really putting the kids first and making sure that there was a safe environment for these young men to grow, not just as players, but as human beings,” Bublé said.
That distinction matters in a league where athletic ambition arrives well before adulthood. As Prime Video explains, the players juggle high school, life away from home and relationships while pursuing a professional hockey career that only some will reach.

The season’s pressures extend beyond the scoreboard. Prime Video describes a 15-day road trip, injuries and decisions around the trade deadline, with young players trying to establish themselves while others wonder whether they will keep their place.
The Giants’ Oct. 16 announcement identifies prospect Ryan Lin and player Torretto Marrelli among the athletes whose stories the series follows. The team also marked the launch with an Oct. 15 premiere at British Columbia’s Langley Events Centre, attended by Bublé, Scott and the 2026-27 Giants roster.
Scott told TV Insider that learning about the players and their journeys drew him further into the organization. His television production experience gave him a practical way to help: bring attention to the people already doing the work.
And the cameras did not produce a fairy-tale championship ending. Scott acknowledged that the team did not become the champion they had hoped for, but said the disappointment belongs in the story, too.
“It also shows when things don’t work out, you pick yourself up and dust off and just wait to see what comes next,” he said of a lesson that reaches well beyond a hockey season.
Parents should distinguish that uplifting aim from an all-ages viewing recommendation. Prime Video’s US listing rates HOMETOWN GIANTS TV-MA and flags violence and foul language, so families should check the content before watching together.
All six episodes are now streaming on Prime Video. Bublé and Scott joked about possibilities for another season in the interview, but those comments do not amount to a renewal announcement; for now, the story centers on young athletes learning to keep going when hard work does not deliver the ending they wanted.
