Much like previous series Canada: A People's History, the series told the history of the sport of ice hockey from a personal perspective, giving voice to various individuals, major and minor, as the sport grows and evolves in Canada.[2][3][4] The series ran for 10 hours in total, and was shot in HD. Episode narration was by actor Paul Gross.
Warner Bros. and CBC Home Media have released a 6-Disc DVD collection. The collection features two episodes per disc as well as bonus features on the 6th disc.
