Hockey Player Goes Vogue for New Line

by Jane Boursaw on September 9th, 2008

You usually don’t think of the words “hockey” and “fashion” sharing space in the same sentence, but New Line Cinema is hoping to change that.

The studio is currently working on a romantic comedy about pro hockey player Sean Avery’s experiences in the fashion world, including his stint as a summer intern at a fashion magazine.

In May, Avery, who considers himself something of a fashion jock, began a summer internship at Vogue, where, among other duties, he served as guest editor of MensVogue.com. He was a member of the NHL’s New York Rangers at the time of the internship, and he’s since signed with the Dallas Stars.

“I was always trying to be the best-dressed kid in school,” he said, adding, “But I’m still an athlete who likes to beat the crap out of people.”

This sounds just bizarre enough to be a really great film.
