Icing the Puck | 1:30 | 2009 | USA
Director: Mike Conti
Mike Conti straps on his shoulder pads, tightens up his laces and prepares for the game of his life. Teammates nowhere in sight, coach gone AWOL, this solitary player insists on a game whether he's skating the biggest ice in the land or he's bringing his own. Just one more slapshot, ice time is at a premium in this land where the clock runs on glacial time. These short videos undermine the myths of both Alaska and the Sports Hero. The player’s choice of venue makes no sense, and like Buster Keaton he strives against the impossible to sad and comic results.
