This Is The CHL - S01E04 (Tiger Country - The Medicine Hat Tigers)

On ‘This is the CHL’ our cameras head to Medicine Hat, Alberta, home of the Medicine Hat Tigers. This is a team whose history is deep in championships, and a team that is the heartbeat of the community. Later, we hang out with Garret Rank, a former OHL official who has made his way up to the NHL, but what makes him different than any other official to work in the CHL is that he’s also one of the best amateur Golfers in the world, and will tee it up at the Canadian Open later this summer. Meanwhile, Jakub Voracek, Ryan Johansen and Nick Foligno are all former CHL stars who are making big names for themselves in the NHL, check out their stories. And to wrap up the show, we head back in time to the 2007 MasterCard Memorial Cup between the Medicine Hat Tigers and Vancouver Giants, in one of the hardest hitting tightly battled finals ever played.

This Is The CHL - S01E06 (The Underdogs)

When the Blainville-Broisbriand Armada came in to the QMJHL a few years ago nobody expected big things right away. But three years in the playoffs and another top ten finish in the CHL rankings has the Armada back in the thick of the race for the President’s Trophy. Led by former NHLer, Joel Bouchard, and pieced together with a Latvian power forward and a few other talented prospects, the Armada are far from the Underdog image they were once perceived as. Later, we sit down with a former WHL star who took his scholarship dollars and used them to obtain his Law degree from the University of Regina, where he starred for their CIS hockey club. Then we talk with a trio of former CHL stars including Jordan Eberle and Drew Doughty.
