What happens

MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives (known as Trophy Wives in the United Kingdom) is a 2008 Canadian drama television series that debuted on January 11, 2008 on CBC Television. The series concerns the personal lives of professional hockey players and their wives or girlfriends. According to series co-creator Mary Young Leckie, the show is inspired by, although not a direct adaptation of, the British series Footballers' Wives. CBC cancelled the program on March 7, 2008, with poor ratings and high production costs cited as reasons. American cable network Soapnet subsequently acquired the show and aired it on June 19, 2008, as did British channel Living TV which aired it on May 4, 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
