Us Weekly got an exclusive first look at the 'Pro Beach Hockey: Sun, Surf and Slapshots' documentary at the VIP screening in Huntington Beach on June 21
The documentary takes an inside look at the professional roller hockey league – which was created in the late '90s in Southern California – and the impact it had on players and fans who had limited access to resources like an ice rink, equipment and more.
'Each team was sponsored by a local bar,' Cimperman explained. 'As a result, the booze was free for players all weekend long. This led to lots of players missing their games and rosters being reconfigured at the last minute. Despite playing on national TV— there were plenty of shenanigans going on.'What Is 'Pro Beach Hockey: Sun, Surf and Slapshots' About?
Los Angeles Lakers owner and president Jeanie Buss also appears in the documentary and serves as executive producer. Buss was the owner of the Los Angeles Blades, a pro roller hockey team in the Roller Hockey International league from 1993 to 1997, before bringing her sports expertise over to PBH. 'Meeting all the characters involved in the '90s roller hockey scene was probably the best part ,' Cimperman, a lifelong hockey fan and player, told Us. 'They had so many outrageous stories to share, and it was clearly such a memorable part of their lives.'
