I love figure skating.
I wrote an opening-night commercial for the NHL that was never used, sadly, but it was fairly disrespectful to the male figure skating athletes, and fairly violent, so maybe it was for the best. It starts with a beautiful man figure skating, so elegant it borders on somber, with sweeping classical music playing, the crowd reserved and classy, and then a hockey player for the LA Kings comes out of nowhere and checks him against the wall, teeth and blood flying in slow motion, the crowd turns rowdy and roars, and then the title screen:
THE NHL IS BACK
