WHITESTONE, NY - BODYARMOR Sports Drink today announced a new multi-year North American partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) to become the «Official Sports Drink» partner of the NHL and NHLPA. The BODYARMOR brand will be featured for the first time across the League on Saturday, April 20, the opening day of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

This partnershiphas yielded some interesting results, as they have filmed a commercial with the Rangers star forward, Matt Rempe.

In the commercial, which calls back to TV spots we've had in the past with ESPN, we see Rempe in an office setting.

Of course, the lumbering enforcer is hilariously awkward from the get-go, as the 6'9" forward overshadows all of the "Body Armor" team in the spot.

He uses his hockey wiles to solve office problems unconventionally including destroying a troublesome fax machine and printer.

Those of us who've worked office jobs, and saw how they handed the machine in Office Space should give us a good chuckle.

We've undoubtedly wanted to do the same thing to fax machines that won't work, that eat your paper as they send, and of course, run out of paper.

Other hijinks ensue, as Rempe turns down the office temperature which results in a work wrapping themselves up in a blanket in hopes they don't freeze to death.

While Rempe walks around carefree like he owns the place.

Rempe would run a meeting, and visibly puzzled about business terms ilke "quarter", and would refuse a meeting in the penalty box, you know his favorite spot in the NHL.

Seems kinda counterintuitive!

Anyway, enjoy Rempe as his superstardom is just beginning especially with this Body Armor commercial.
