Busting to Break Records: Sudbury’s Shoresy Returns for Second Season

Canadian TV Series “Shoresy” Returns for Second Season, Boosting Local Economy

Introduction

The highly anticipated second season of the television series “Shoresy” is set to premiere on September 29. Filmed and set in Greater Sudbury, this comedic and foul-mouthed show follows the fictional Sudbury Bulldogs hockey team as they strive to never lose again. With its strong connection to the local community, the first season of “Shoresy” was credited with contributing $4.8 million to the regional economy. Now, as the second season prepares to hit the airwaves, there are high hopes for another economic boost and for the continued success of the show.

Show Details and Premise

The second season of “Shoresy” consists of six episodes, with two episodes airing on September 29 and subsequent episodes airing on the four Fridays that follow. The show airs on Crave and has gained a significant following for its unique blend of comedy and raunchiness. The season premiere, titled “Get ‘Em Focused,” sets the stage for the Bulldogs’ ongoing pursuit of victory. The next episode, “Skill vs Will,” sees the team gearing up to face off against a new American team.

Connection to Greater Sudbury

One of the defining aspects of “Shoresy” is its strong ties to the Greater Sudbury area. Throughout the first season, numerous references to Sudbury and its landmarks are peppered throughout the episodes. The Bulldogs are shown gathering for meals at local establishments such as Peppi Panini and The Coulson, hanging out at the Dog House Sports Bar and Caruso Club, and playing games at the Sudbury Community Arena. This integration of the city’s culture and locations has not only provided a sense of authenticity to the show but has also served as a way to showcase the beauty and appeal of Sudbury to viewers.

Economic Impact

The success of “Shoresy” has had a significant economic impact on Greater Sudbury. The first season alone contributed $4.8 million to the regional economy, according to the city. This injection of funds has benefited local businesses and the film sector, providing opportunities for talented individuals both in front of and behind the camera. Additionally, the influx of viewers and the show’s continued popularity are likely to generate increased tourism and interest in Sudbury as a filming location.

Sudbury Community Support

The city of Greater Sudbury has been instrumental in supporting the production of “Shoresy.” In late 2021, the city council voted to halve the rental rates for Sudbury Community Arena to accommodate the show’s filming. This decision highlights the city’s recognition of the positive impact that the show brings to the local economy and its willingness to support the growth of the television and film sector. Furthermore, the three-year lease of Capreol Arena pad No. 1, specifically for use as a film studio, demonstrates the city’s commitment to fostering a thriving film industry within Sudbury.

Mayor Paul Lefebvre’s Comments

Upon the announcement of the second season order, Mayor Paul Lefebvre expressed his enthusiasm and support for the show. He stated that it was “good news for our local economy, the television film sector, and all the talented individuals who contribute to the production of the show – from those behind the scenes to those who take centre ice.” Mayor Lefebvre’s comments reflect the city’s recognition of the show’s positive impact on Greater Sudbury and its commitment to nurturing the creative industry within the region.

Conclusion

As the second season of “Shoresy” prepares to make its highly anticipated debut, excitement is building in Greater Sudbury. The show’s connection to the local community, economic contributions, and seamless integration of Sudbury‘s culture and landmarks have established it as an important part of the city’s identity. With its unique blend of humor and hockey, “Shoresy” has captured the hearts of viewers across Canada and beyond. As the fictional Sudbury Bulldogs continue their quest for victory, the real-life impact of the show on the local economy and film sector is a testament to the power of storytelling and community involvement.
