Net Worth is based on a book, which is based on the establishment of the National Hockey League’s Players Association. Amazingly if you ever wanted to get into sports management or the business side of hockey, I guarantee you will have to read the book like I did. We all take things for granted today, … More Net Worth (1995)
I never thought there would be a movie that could ever get made, first by Canadians and starring Canadians, that would absolutely disgrace the game of hockey. If you can actually sit through Score: A Hockey Musical, I feel the movie company should pay you for your time. The singing is terrible, the acting is … More Score: A Hockey Musical (2010)
I was doing some research on the Swedish Men’s Olympic Team when I saw web ad for The Nagano Tapes. I clicked on the ad without knowing what this documentary was about or whether or not it would actually interest me. Once the story started, I couldn’t stop watching because it was such an entertaining … More The Nagano Tapes: Rewound, Replayed & Reviewed (2018)
To celebrate the return of the Olympic Winter Games to Sochi, Russia in 2014, Gabe Polsky set out to make a documentary about the Red Army. The Red Army teams for those of you who were not aware, were players who served the Soviet Union both on the ice and in the military. This story … More Red Army (2014)
The U.S.A. Hockey program will always be remembered for one moment. No matter how many Gold medals, World Championships, or superstars they send to the National Hockey League, the hockey program will be remembered for orchestrating one of the greatest upsets in the history of organized sports. These college kids went to Lake Placid, New … More Do You Believe in Miracles? The Story of the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team (2001)
Wayne Gretzky is probably the biggest star in the history of the National Hockey League. We all know that even the greatest have set backs with their careers and their personal lives. I mention all this because Walter Gretzky (Tom McCamus) had a stroke and lost all his memories, including any knowledge of the great … More Waking Up Wally: The Walter Gretzky Story (2005)
After the success of the first two Might Ducks movie, the writers ran out of local teams to beat and world tournaments to conquer, so the kids are headed to prep school. In the worse instalment of a great kids hockey franchise, this movie never really gets going and never really engages you like the … More D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996)
Fresh off winning a district championship, somehow the Mighty Ducks of Minnesota become America’s choice to represent the country at the Junior Goodwill Games. I love hockey and follow it religiously, yet I’m smart enough to know that never does one team represent a whole country. Usually these best on best tournaments are made up … More D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)
The Mighty Ducks is definitely the ultimate family movie. Disney not only cornered the market with a hockey trilogy that wins with everyone, but it also gave birth to the Anaheim Ducks in the NHL. It is kinda funny to think that if Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) never gets pulled over and given community service, … More The Mighty Ducks (1992)
The Rocket is extremely hard to find on disc, rent, or even stream online. Maybe it is because it is so captivating or because the people of Quebec want to keep their hero to themselves. You may have to dig into the history pages of the NHL to learn who Maurice Richard was, but for … More The Rocket (2005)
