REPLAY, Fueled by Gatorade(R) Returns for Season Two By Tradingmarkets.comFebruary 26, 2010
Today, The Gatorade Company and FOX Sports Net announce the second season of the successful, original program, REPLAY the Series, Fueled by Gatorade, which re-stages classic games between some of the nation's biggest high school sports rivalries. In its second season, REPLAY will reunite two high school hockey powerhouses from Detroit - the Trenton Trojans and the Detroit Catholic Central Shamrocks - who were unable to finish their second match up of the 1999 season after a life threatening injury forced an early end to the game with the score tied 4-4.
"Hockey passion runs deep in Detroit, and is felt throughout the community," said Brendan Shanahan, NHL Vice-President and former Detroit Red Wings forward. "The NHL is thrilled Gatorade is giving the original players of these two teams a second chance to settle their score in front of all their friends and family."
To get ready for their once-in-a-lifetime rematch, the Trenton and DCC players will take part in a customized 8-week training and nutrition program developed by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) and implemented with the help of professionals from Velocity Sports Performance. GSSI has worked with elite and professional athletes for more than 25 years and will help the Trenton and DCC squads understand their individual fueling needs as athletes before, during and after their on- and off-ice training sessions.
"We are looking forward to working with these athletes to prove once you're an athlete, you're always an athlete," said Sarah Robb O'Hagan, chief marketing officer of Gatorade. "It's an honor to be able to prepare these teams to come together in the spirit of sport, passion and good natured rivalry as they compete for their schools one last time."
The REPLAY game is tentatively scheduled to take place in early May and a documentary produced by FOX Sports Net about the REPLAY athletes' journey will air nationwide in June.
"This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with Gatorade on a very creative and home grown project," said Read Jackson, FSN's senior vice president of production and executive producer of REPLAY. "The tone of the REPLAY documentary series provides a trip down memory lane as viewers get to vicariously re-live their high school sports experience, whether they played on a team or not."
As the Trenton and DCC players prepare for their game, REPLAY fans can follow their journey by visiting www.replaytheseries.com, the official home of REPLAY. Visitors to the site can also check out the first season of REPLAY that featured one of the nation's biggest high school football rivalries between the Easton Area Red Rovers and the Phillipsburg Stateliners.
REPLAY, a series of sports documentaries focusing on rematches between great rivalries, is based on an original concept from the creative teams at Gatorade and TBWAChiatDay Los Angeles.

Many
Velocity Sports Performance athletes were selected higher than their
anticipated draft day selection after training at Velocity Sports Performance
between their college season and the NFL Combine or Pro Days. Virginia
Tech offensive tackle Duane Brown, saw his draft day status rise to a first
round pick with the Houston Texans after projected to be selected in the second
round.
One
of the biggest beneficiaries of training at Velocity Sports Performance was Notre Dame tight end John Carlson, whose
fourth round projection was amplified when he was selected with the seventh
pick in the second round by the Seattle Seahawks.
“I
really like Velocity Sports Performance because of the scientific approach they
take to training,” said Carlson. “We do evaluations on camera, so you can look
at your technique to see what you are doing wrong and make corrections. The training I’ve benefited the most is the
running. The technique work on starts,
acceleration and full speed.”
Originally
projected to be drafted in the third-round or later, Michigan quarterback Chad Henne was selected in the second round
to the Miami Dolphins where many NFL analysts believe he has a great chance of
becoming the Dolphins starter this season.
Henne has attributed much of his improvement to training at Velocity
Sports Performance stating, “The Velocity coaches are great. They helped me tremendously with agility, speed,
and strength. Everything that goes into
every aspect of being an athlete.”
Notre Dame defensive tackle Trevor Laws saw his draft day value rise dramatically after impressive
stats at the NFL Combine and the Senior Bowl.
Laws, drafted with the sixteenth pick in the second round, put up an
remarkable 35 reps on the bench press.
“I
feel like the guys here at Velocity Sports Performance did a great job allowing
me to peak right before the Senior Bowl.
They worked me out hard in the weeks prior and let me come back up at
the right moment,” said Laws. “I’ve gained about 35-pounds of muscle since I’ve
started working out with Velocity Sports Performance.”
Other
notable improvements came with two athletes who were originally projected to
not be drafted during this year’s NFL Draft. Richmond running back Timothy
Hightower and West Virginia
defenseive back Ryan Mundy both were drafted this weekend in the fifth
round to Arizona and the sixth round to Pittsburgh respectively. Mundy, who wasn’t invited to the combine, was
able to impress the Steelers scouts through his pro day numbers.
With
increased competition to make a roster, training and conditioning with Velocity
Sports Performance gave these athletes an edge over those competing for the
same draft spots. Velocity Sports
Performance made these athletes faster, stronger and more explosive. Improving their stamina is both a result and
a benefit of the conditioning process, which will serve these Velocity Sports
Performance athletes well as they begin the next level in their careers.
“We
are extremely proud of all the pro football prospects that prepared for the NFL
Draft at Velocity Sports Performance centers this year,” said Loren Seagrave, Founder of Velocity Sports
Performance. “Athletes who train at Velocity Sports Performance perform at
their peak because the cutting-edge programs implemented by our Sports
Performance Directors and Performance Coaches across the country have been
specifically designed to optimize the building blocks of athleticism: speed;
power; and agility. These are measurable qualities that the NFL combine and
scouts use to determine the likelihood of each prospect’s success in the NFL.”
