The rocket is an excellent show. I cant count how many times me and the boys have watched that one on the long bus ride home after a game. Really good show too if you wanna sit down and kill a few hours on a rainy day.
Slapshot is good, another bus fim classic, could probably say the entire movie line for line now. Pretty good at showing the typical side of pro hockey players, especially the ones in the bush *caugh* federal leagues. Little out there though.
Miracle.....meh. could of been alot worse with your typical america save the day story line. I think someone above said they used minor league players or something? false, they were guys from the UBC thunderbirds team and some of it was filmed at ubc campus. The thing i like the most about this film is it depicts the us style hockey stystem i.e. college is the ultimate goal unlike here where its jr and then the show. not a bad film, shows hockey players pretty close to what they are, not perfect by any means. Thers also a couple errors in the storyline...
THE BEST HOCKEY MOVIE im surprised no one has mentioned it yet as well. Young blood. is the best hockey movie, though far fetched like the others it does the best job at showing what actual junior hockey is like. I.e. billits, puck bunnys, crazy coaches who had about six seconds in the show and so on. A great flick any day of the week though.
the
VERY best hockey movie?
Les Cheifs: This is not fiction. Any current or former jr players will know exatcly what im talking about and will love this film. For those in the dark, click the link
