In the premiere episode of NHL Backstory, ESPN's Arda Öcal helps explain how a frustrated screenwriter took his love for hockey and turned it into a Disney mega-franchise. But that’s only where the story starts. Within just weeks of the movie’s release, the company was the proud owner of one of the NHL’s newest franchises. Going deep behind the scenes, NHL Backstory talks to the key people (including Steve Brill, Jordan Kerner, Shaun Weiss, Gary Bettman, Michael Eisner, Paul Kariya, Teemu Selänne and Jack Ferreira) and discover how a movie about some mischievous hockey brats morphed into an NHL team competing in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. All in a span of just over a decade.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
