It's the most exciting part of hockey, without the hockey! Production World, exclusive audio-visual production supplier to the River Cree Resort & Casino, worked with their client, Ice Wars International, to produce the first event of this kind staged in Alberta on May 21st. In addition to providing lighting, sound and streaming video broadcast, Production World's Chief Builder, Carmon Arlett, built the custom rink. The event was dubbed the "8 man Heavyweight King of The Rink Tournament!". Each bout, fought on synthetic ice, is comprised of two, one-minute rounds, with a 30-second ice-breaker overtime round in case of a draw. And ---yes --- fighters drop actual hockey gloves to start the fight. |
