Geneva, IL (PRWEB) January 18, 2017 -- Chicagoland Junior Hockey Team to Broadcast 'Wayne's World' Parody on Aurora Cable 10 In Honor of Movie's 25th Anniversary
Chicago Steel - #1 Ranked USHL Team Based Near Aurora Will Feature A Night of Hockey & Family Entertainment Themed Around the Famous Saturday Night Live Sketch and Movie
Game On! In a nod to the low-budget community access spoof that helped make Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey comedy stars, the Chicago Steel Hockey Team created and will broadcast a parody of Wayne’s World on Aurora Cable 10, the actual home of the fictional show that began on Saturday Night Live. Fictional co-hosts Wayne and Garth were big hockey fans and lived in Aurora, near where the Steel play their home games at the Fox Valley Ice Arena. The broadcast, on Friday, January 27 at 10:30 PM, is part of a 25th anniversary celebration of Wayne’s World. The team will also feature segments of their parody at a Wayne’s World-themed game on Saturday, January 28.
The top team in the United States Hockey League (USHL) January power rankings, will “party on!” and celebrate the 25th anniversary of Wayne’s World on Saturday, January 28 during their game at the Fox Valley Ice Arena. When the movie Wayne’s World entered the pop-culture lexicon it also brought the town of Aurora into the national spotlight.
“Wayne and Garth are icons in the worlds of cable TV, music and hockey,” explained Dan Lehv, Chicago Steel Hockey President. “Once we learned that there is an actual Cable 10, Aurora, Illinois, we couldn’t not celebrate the 25th anniversary of Wayne’s World.”
The broadcast parody will include the top ten reasons the Steel will beat Bloomington, a dream sequence in which Wayne and Garth become Steel players, special guests like Steel mascot Rusty and commercial messages totally not paid for by sponsors.
The night of the game, fans are encouraged to come to the arena dressed as Wayne & Garth and the ex-cellent evening’s festivities will include:
- A pre-game performance by the School of Rock House Band
- An A cappella performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Acappellago
- Wayne’s World Trivia
- Dreamweaver Smile Cam
- Clips from the Chicago Steel Hockey Wayne's World episode
The Chicago Steel will help launch the “Party On! 25 Years of Wayne's World,” a six-month-long celebration of the movie hosted by the Aurora Downtown, the City of Aurora, and the Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. On February 3, the event officially kicks off with a poster contest from 7 to 11 p.m. at If These Walls Could Talk located at 32 S Stolp Ave in Aurora.
