La Dolce Vita On Ice
First Ever Film About Italian Ice Hockey
La Dolce Vita On Ice
A North American pro hockey player rallies a wider audience to help realize his dream: transporting his friends, family and sports fans to the world of hockey in the land of “La Dolce Vita.”
While residing in Italy, Brad Doshan set out to write and produce a documentary amplifying the growth of this exhilarating sport. As a veteran professional ice hockey player and coach, Doshan draws on his Italian heritage to bring us a sweeping perspective, from inside and outside the rinks.
The story is freshly relevant, as Italy gears up to host the Winter Olympics in 2026.
Italy has been a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation since 1924, and Doshan illustrates how hockey’s fast-paced “persona di spirito” is naturally aligned with Italian culture.
His film kicks off early in 1994, with 10,000 fans in the Milan and Bolzano venues witnessing one of the most spectacular Italian Hockey Final Series, ever. Italy was also hosting the 1994 World Ice Hockey Championships in Milan with the help of many “Italo” North Americans. The Italian National Team finished sixth behind the great hockey powers; Canada, Sweden, USA, Russia and Finland.
Ex-NHL Stars such as Reed Larson, Bob Manno, Cliff Ronning, Ron Chipperfield, Jari Kurri and Jaromir Jagr, plus coaches Brian Lefley, Dave Chambers and Lou Vairo, all contributed to elevating the game to a world-class standard.
The film became a reality in 1996 when major Italian television networks were persuaded to contribute hockey footage, studio time, technicians and expertise in order to fulfill Brad’s dream of completing the project.
With live footage dating back to 1922 until 1996, the film is now becoming a hockey cult classic in Italy.
“La Dolce Vita On Ice” may well endure as having captured the true essence of this great sport at its pinnacle. By successfully hosting the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino – showcasing world class teams and players. Hopefully Italy will now be inspired to further develop the greatest game on earth.
