Ben Orisich Scores for the Stanley Cup Finals

Imagine the opportunity to borrow the Stanley Cup for a few days and take it to a shoot on a frozen lake in Northern Minnesota.  That’s what this year’s Stanley Cup Finals Opening Tease afforded our buddy Ben Orisich the opportunity of doing.  A love letter to the grit and sheer determination it takes to get to the NHL Finals, this film featured dozens of real people playing for a vast assortment of leagues and clubs.  Love of the game runs incredibly deep from the rural towns of northern Minnesota to the cross streets of midtown NYC, and he knew he needed to capture that.  And he did! Huge congrats, Ben❗️
