Welcome to the Official Website of Hockey: The Musical!
Hockey: The Musical! 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?
