About this show
Sexy sports stars burn up the ice in this funny, filthy spoof of hockey's hottest romance. A full-scale musical packed with songs, sex jokes, scandal and more pucking innuendos than should legally fit in one show. Lovingly parodying the show that had audiences swooning, blushing and caring about hockey for the first time. From Quick and Funny Musicals, the cult Upright Citizens Brigade LA creators known for turning pop culture obsessions into chaotic comedy musicals, this is an affectionate, outrageous musical send-up of passion, repression and the perfect foreplay to the rest of your night.
