Among the features airing on the pregame show:

* St. Louis Blues goalie Jake Allen, the only active NHL player from Fredericton, was known for his golf skills before he made it to the NHL. Allen won back-to-back junior championships as a golfer and discusses his golf game on the course he played on as a boy.

* Willie O'Ree, 80, was born in Fredericton and was the first black player in the NHL. He played 45 games with the Boston Bruins.

* The town of Plaster Rock, New Brunswick has slightly more than 1,000 residents and hosts an annual pond hockey tournament to raise money for a new arena. There were 40 teams in 2002, the first year, but the event has grown to more than 120 teams from 15 countries.
