This fall, Shaw TV is proud to present WHL Full On, an exciting new original series premiering in October, giving viewers exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the drama, superstitions, routines and passion that is life in the Western Hockey League.

WHL Full On will air three times per week starting October 29 as part of a 10-part series – viewers can watch a preview of the program at .
