Tomas Jurco Stars In New Online Video That Merges Tron With Hockey (Video)

Detroit Red Wings prospect, Tomas Jurco, has become one of hockey's online stars as a new video has gone viral, that has him being called "unbelievable" and a "magician".

According to Yahoo!, Jurco stars in a must-see video produced by the Griffins, skating in a darkened arena with glowing luminescent wire wrapped around his body-featured with "17 Ghosts II" by Nine Inch Nails.

Jurco was chosen for his trick shot reputation. But there was one problem: He couldn't perform the same stick magic due to the wire being wrapped around his lumber.

"We had to do it on the blade. We couldn't use Jurco for his Jurco-ness, as we've done in the past," lamented Gajewski, who also couldn't illuminate the puck to a desired effect.

Ryan Gajewski, video coordinator for the Griffins, said the inspiration came from other athletic activities. He said one day a friend of his wrapped his bike in electric luminescent wire. His immediate thought: "Man, it would be cool to wrap a player in that ..."

Along with that idea, he also found a clip featuring a snowboarder using the material to glow in the dark while boarding down a mountainside, showing the potential for the idea to work in motion.

The Griffins reward Gajewski and his team creative freedom and financial backing to make his vision become a reality.
