Making the Cut

The Final Cut (1x13)

: 14, 2004

Live from Mississauga, Ontario the two-hour Bell Making the Cut series finale features the Top 18 players centre ice for a series of skills and drills under the watchful eye of the six NHL General Managers; mentors Mike Keenan and Scotty Bowman; and Jack Birch and his insightful team of evaluators. The players compete in four skill-testing drills: Shot Accuracy, Hardest Shot, Fastest Skater, and the Ambush. This is their last shot at impressing the NHL big-wigs – each GM will pick one player to attend their NHL training camp. Only six will make it. With family and friends crowding the stands, emotions will be tense and expectations high. Interviews with the players and their family's take place rink side, and the winner of the Reader's Digest Readers' Choice Award will be announced. But? it's all about the Top Prize, a shot at an NHL career – next week, the dream continues for six players.
