Sexy sports stars burn up the ice in this funny, filthy spoof of hockey's hottest romance. Packed with songs, sex jokes, scandal and more pucking innuendos than should legally fit into one show, this is an affectionate and outrageous musical send-up of passion, repression and the perfect foreplay to the rest of your night.

Introducing Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, two fiery rookies whose rivalry on the ice is matched only by that of their burning desire for each other. Meanwhile, romance is sparking between hockey star Scott Hunter and his local smoothie barista, Kip Grady, who equally struggle with their desire to live proudly as themselves. Both relationships are tested with family obligations, professional pressure, an overzealous intimacy coordinator and a cast of characters who lovingly parody the show that had audiences swooning, blushing and caring about hockey for the first time.

Quick and Funny Musicals, a longtime Upright Citizens Brigade mainstay, are now widely known for turning pop culture obsessions into chaotic comedy musicals in Los Angeles for more than 15 years. The company is built around making ambitious, ridiculous shows quickly and putting them in front of an audience before anyone can talk them out of it. Its alumni include creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Rachel Bloom, comedy choreographer Kat Burns, Superstore and Fringe favourite Chris Grace, and a long list of Broadway performers, television actors and film and TV comedy writers. The team writes the book, songs, and staging for each show in a single month, building a repertoire of musical comedies that are scrappy by design and proudly overcommitted in execution.
