POWER PLAY
MORE THAN JUST A GAME
A smart, fast-paced Canadian series set in the world of professional hockey, Power Play explores ambition, loyalty, and the high-stakes maneuvering that takes place both on and off the ice.
Starring Michael Riley as Brett Parker, the acclaimed hockey drama brought sharp wit and intensity to a world where every move off the ice mattered as much as the game itself.
The series aired for two seasons between 1998 and 2000, offering a compelling look at the intersection of sports, media, and power. Michael Riley’s performance earned him two consecutive Gemini Awards for Best Actor in a Continuing Dramatic Role, underscoring the impact and resonance of the series.
