The Northern Avalanche Hockey Club is poised to make their debut on national television.

As Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids, the girls team – which will also represent the Yukon at the Canada Winter Games in February – will be featured on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada.

They will be introducing an NHL game on the pre-game show, Scotiabank Hockey

Tonight, at 3:30 p.m. PST prior to the start of two games on Jan. 15.

The players will air before the Montreal Canadiens-New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs-Calgary Flames games, as well as introduce CBC's Ron MacLean.

Taping for the show will take place this Saturday at 12 p.m. at the Canada Games Centre, where the players will be filmed in the dressing room and on-ice naming their positions and favourite hockey players.

The Saturday taping will be followed by a pizza party for the club at Boston Pizza, sponsored by Scotiabank.

Club manager Laura Eby entered the contest on the Hockey Night in Canada website for the opportunity.

"They're pretty pumped,” Eby said of the players. "They're pretty excited about being on camera. At first they weren't sure what was going on, but now they're pumped.”

This was not Eby's first time entering a contest – and not her first time winning.

She won another contest for her daughter and Avalanche forward Linsey, who won a chance to go to Dallas to watch the all-star game four years ago.

Linsey even got the chance to stand on the ice with Vancouver Canucks star goaltender Roberto Luongo, her mother pointed out.

The Avalanche is one of 25 minor hockey teams chosen from communities across Canada to be Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids.

The winning teams will welcome viewers to Hockey Night in Canada throughout the regular season.

After two seasons of bringing the excitement of Hockey Night to youth across the country, Scotiabank is once again supporting Canada's next generation of hockey greats – and hockey fans.

"The Scotiabank Hockey Tonight Kids program was an absolute hit with the kids the last two years and we're thrilled to be ‘calling up' another 25 teams this season,” Scotiabank branch manager Doug Janzen said in a release.

"Scotiabank has always been proud of our support of minor hockey in Canada and we hope this program gives kids a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to feel the excitement of Hockey Night in Canada and the big leagues.”
