CATCH A WAVE

California Wave Bantam Team’s Run at Nationals the Focus of Upcoming Hockey Documentary


By Richard Graham

If Wayne Radvjee doesn’t make it as a hockey player, he can always fall back on a career as a filmmaker. He’s off to a good start already.

Radvjee was given a small video camera to turn on his California Wave teammates to help “capture the spirit of the thing” as part of a documentary chronicling the Bantam team’s march to the USA Hockey Tier I 14 & Under National Championships in Bensenville, Ill. He may need to readjust his focus just a bit.

“He walked around doing stupid things, like filming girls and stuff,” said Matt Leitner, who along with his teammates called Radvjee’s new toy the “Wayne Cam.”

It was all part of a project created by Matt Gannon, a Los Angeles-based film producer/director, and his Stickmen Pictures crew, to explore the hard work and year-round dedication that these California-based players devote to ice hockey, and the importance the game plays in their young lives.
