The next million dollar screenplay idea

Lights from above glimmer off the ice. It's a shame that something so beautiful can be home to games that can become deadly.
On the ice rink, there are usually two groups of skaters, the figure skaters and the hockey players. Both rely on power and speed, but where the figure skaters move towards grace and expression, the hockey players are more on the side of brute strength and stops and starts. It makes for an interesting time when they share the ice as the figure skaters try to move in lines and curves, the hockey players skid and move unpredictably.
One figure skater has had enough of the headaches involved in making his way through the minefield of the hockey players, with their short edged blades digging up the ice. He vows to correct the problem by making the hockey players pay for their lack of regard for others on the ice.
It's kind of "Ice Princess" meets "I Know What You Did Last Summer" meets "The Cutting Edge" meets "My Bloody Valentine." I see it starring Johnny Weir, Sascha Cohen, Drea de Matteo, and Robert Buckley.
Coming soon to a theater near you.
