10PM on Thursday, Oct. 1st will see the premiere of Benders, a series following the ups and various assorted downs of amateur hockey, on IFC
From this teaser, you can see that their glory might end up being pretty funny.
Joining a network that has a show about a comedian doing a podcast, a meta talk show, a sketch show based on and out of Portland, and a set of mini-series sourced from a fictitious series of novels will be a comedy about obsessively playing amateur hockey.
Announced this morning, IFC has ordered 8 episodes of “Benders” from Denis Leary’s Apostle that indeed will follow friends desperately trying to obtain amateur hockey glory.
It has yet to be seen, but this could fill a need for when The League comes to an end soon.
