From backyard ice to the NHL
We turned a professional hockey player’s real story into a feature-length 3D animated film — from his first steps on the ice to the NHL. Using AI, we brought his journey to life through a recognizable character, familiar places and the moments that shaped his career.

The goal: help viewers connect with the person behind the player.
What we did
- Built the script around real milestones, following his journey from childhood skating to the NHL.
- Created the player at four different ages, keeping his likeness and personality consistent throughout the film.
- Designed camera movements and scene transitions to make the story flow as one complete film.
- Synchronized dialogue, music and sound effects with the animation to bring each scene to life.
- Recreated real locations, career highlights and hockey equipment to keep the story true to the person behind it.
The result
A complete animated biography that brings a real hockey career to life, showing the person behind the achievements. One team handled the entire production, using AI to deliver the film on a shorter timeline and at a lower cost than a traditional animation studio.
