No, Vancouverites, your eyes weren't deceiving you! That was a chimp on a
skateboard!!!

VANCOUVER, May 10 /PRNewswire/ - International Keystone Entertainment Inc.

``MVP II'' sees the drafting of Jack, the hockey-playing chimpanzee, into
a professional hockey league, where he wows the fans and fellow players
with his talent on the ice becoming the most popular rookie in the league.

skateboarding!! After befriending a young boy who teaches Jack how to
skateboard, Jack helps the boy gain confidence and they beat out
professional skateboarders in a national skateboarding championship.
