Amazon Drops Trailer For NHL Version Of ‘Drive To Survive’ With A Stacked Cast Of Superstars

Over the past few years, Drive to Survive and Full Swing have respectively offered viewers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the trials and tribulations that F1 drivers and professional golfers have to grapple with.

Now, the team behind those series is turning its attention to the NHL, and it looks like we’re in for a treat based on the first trailer and the list of notable hockey names that will be at the center of the upcoming docuseries.

The NHL has historically struggled to market its product to the masses for a variety of reasons (it’s hard to underestimate the impact of its disastrous television deal with NBC that came to a merciful end in 2022), and the fact that most hockey players are conditioned to conduct robotic interviews where their true personalities are rarely on display certainly doesn’t help the cause.

As a result, it was pretty hard not to be intrigued when a report surfaced earlier this year concerning

Twitter

centered around approximately a dozen “star players” whose identities remained a mystery when the news surfaced back in March.

Now, we’ve got our first look at the still-untitled project made in conjunction with the production company behind Netflix’s Drive to Survive and Full Swing, which confirms some of the biggest names in the sport were followed around by camera crews over the course of the 2023-24 campaign.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will boast a star-studded list of central figures including Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl of the Oilers, David Pastrnak and Jeremy Swayman of the Bruins, Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, Golden Knights center Jack Eichel, Rangers captain Jacob Trouba, and Maple Leafs winger William Nylander (among others).

As you can see from the trailer, the camera crews were following teams during the playoffs, and they’ll be embedded with both the Oilers and the Panthers as they gear up for the Stanley Cup Final.

It’s unclear exactly when the series will air when it debuts in the fall, but it looks like we’re in for a treat.
