Pier-Luc Funk
Pier-Luc Funk has made the monumental decision — without a doubt one of the most important and difficult of his professional life — to retire from the LNI. The league where he has been the star player for nearly ten seasons. His very own national league.
A true improvisation phenomenon, Pier-Luc is stepping off the rink after an exceptional career highlighted by 19 individual trophies and 10 consecutive Audience Choice awards: an unmatched record.
The series follows Pier-Luc from the locker room to the rink: his matches, his doubts, his adrenaline, and his deep connection to a discipline that shaped his life. We accompany him in his daily routine, through his reflections on wanting to start a new chapter, and amid the emotion of these final moments where every scene will be his last. Through archival footage, encounters, and personal revelations, Pier-Luc returns to the foundational sites of his journey: his school, his first games, his first failures, and his first stars. With unique backstage access to the LNI and the raw emotions of a star player at the peak of his career, the series captures a final lap that seals the end of an era.
