What is Hockey: The Musical?
Hockey: The Musical! is a new musical that received its premiere at the
2008 Toronto Fringe Festival. Hockey faces off with everything we know
about professional sports, relationships with our friends and lovers, and
the technologically advancing world we live in. Co-written by
actor/educator Rick Wilson and up-and-coming sports journalist Justin
DeMarco, Hockey: The Musical! is a poignant, uplifting portrait of the sport
and those who play it, accompanied by a soaring musical score.
The Minnesota Turtles are one of the best teams in the United Hockey
League, and their All Stars Pavel Riccardino and Ravi Patel are rapidly
propelling their team toward the playoffs. However, on the heels of
Riccardino’s celebratory scoring of his first career hat trick, scandal hits
him, challenging his very identity. Relationships with his teammates
become strained, testing the team’s loyalty to him, to one another, and to
the game they all love. In the age of the Internet, information travels
faster than a speeding puck. How can athletes maintain their lives,
relationships, and dignity when the media spins “truths” which shape and
alter who they are and who they are perceived to be? What is the price of
an athlete’s fame and the cost of keeping his truths secret?
