TORONTO -- Former NHL heavyweights Lanny McDonald, Glenn Anderson, Tie Domi and Bob Probert are among the hockey stars who have signed up for an elimination-style reality series that will pair them with female figure skaters.

The CBC's seven-week series will also feature Hockey Night in Canada analyst Craig Simpson and two-time Stanley Cup-winner Stephane Richer.

The broadcaster says the hockey stars will be paired with some of Canada's top female figure skaters in a showdown that begins in October. The female figure skaters have yet to be chosen.

Hockey Night in Canada's Ron MacLean and figure skating champ Kurt Browning will host the seven-week series.

Battle of the Blades is set to anchor a fall lineup on CBC.
