a unique series with potential but no funding

This series focused on a fictitious hockey team called The Hamilton Steelheads and production personnel were proud to be daring and present the series as a Canadian hockey team in a Canadian town. All issues affecting a pro sports team were explored starting with funding problems (which brought in the opportunistic and completely narcissistic Brett Parker), internal management problems which the team fought hard to keep out of the media, to the intervention of politicians (and we do meet the minister of culture - Sheila Copps!!) to agent-player contract negotiations, and much more! It was presented solely as a comedy-drama and was on its way to becoming a unique series which didn't mirror any other series during its run, but unfortunately, it was given the boot with no further interest by CTV to give the series another chance.
