I just returned from an audition for a commercial today. They were looking for Hockey Players to be featured with NHL players and look like part of their team. The posting said they wanted guys who are at least 6′1 and around 200lbs and so…I gave it a shot. That’s pretty much all I knew about it until I got there and was told it was a NIKE commercial.

There were a few REALLY good skaters there but for the most part 70% couldn’t even skate backwards (some guys were even falling over).

It started out with about 50 guys there….and after a little while, they told everyone to go home except 10 of us (They kept me for more drills).

Here’s a Video of me skating and knocking over cones for your enjoyment and laughter QUICKTIME VIDEO (small file)….and they still kept me after this. LOL

I seriously doubt I’ll get the spot but who knows…they kept me the full two hours and shot more videos and took Polaroid’s of me(none nude though)

Anyway, it was quite fun but I’m not holding my breath…the way I look at it is, "Hey, I got to go skate". And …it makes for good blogging maybe If by some odd chance I do get the commercial, I’ll be sure to blog about it….but if I don’t, I’ll not mention it again.

In other Hockey news, we had a game last night and won 9 to 3. I scored 2 goals and had 1 assist. Our team was in the zone it seemed. At one point in the game, I was hooked by some bastard in the balls and without thinking ….(in my mind) he suddenly became a TREE and my stick became an AXE. CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! I was put in the penalty box and holding my balls the whole time. [So much for those 20 children] :( I’m fine today, but a little sore.

Wednesday, I’m going to help out with the shooting of a TV pilot…Word is, they’re using a song of mine. I’ll not say much about the show until I get and "ok" to do so …but that too sounds like fun. More soon!
