TORONTO (AP) — Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan beat the “Mantracker.”

Doan and brother Brook survived a manhunt on the “Mantracker” television show.

On the episode that aired Sunday night on Canada’s Outdoor Life Network, the Doans eluded “Mantracker” Terry Grant and local hunting guide Russ Floyd in British Columbia’s southern Chilcotin Mountains.

Equipped with a compass and a map, the brothers had to get to the finish point some 23 miles away without being caught. Using the mountainous terrain to their advantage against the pursuers on horseback, the Doans eventually did so. Although there were several close calls.

The episode will air later in the United States on the Science Channel.
