Best Hockey Movies

Recommended Posts

Youngblood is the best hockey movie. Slapshot is halarious, but does have some slow points.

The newest addition is THE TOURNAMENT. It is a BBC production of crazy hockey parents. It is excellent. Also, the ROCKET. Very well done.

ahh the tournament...haven't seen that in years. btw, I think you mean it was produced by CBC...

anyone remember the tv show Powerplay a few years back? I think Don Cherry guest starred on one episode.

My son picked up Batman & Robin for $.50. There is a little hockey scene in it. Clearly, Batman popping up the Bat Blades makes it the coolest hockey movie.

Anyone seen "No Sleep Til Madison"? I made the mistake of purchasing that one. I watched it with a few teammates and we ended up having to shut it off.. oy

I Netflix'ed it... real, real bad.. I made it through like 20 minutes. I'm a big fan of Gaffigan too, so that's why I grabbed it. Bleh.

Thanks to Netflix on XBox Live, I just watched Mystery Alaska, and National Lampoon's Pucked with Jon Bon Jovi... JBJ goes into credit card debt financing a women's hockey league. I expected a complete turd, and struck gold. Not as bad as the Love Guru. And as I type this response, I'm watching some Sudden Death. I love the Netflix/XBox Live combo.

My favorites:

1- Youngblood (widescreen theatrical release, NOT edited for TV).

2- Miracle.

3- The Rocket (in French and English, NOT the English only version).

4- Slap Shot.

5- The Mighty Ducks (original).

6- Mystery Alaska.

7- Waking Up Wally: The Walter Gretzky Story.

So, last night...we had a game against a team of players from Scotland and Austrailia. There was an older gentleman there really early. He had a Chiefs hat and jacket on...and someone says "He's the goalie from Slapshot". He chatted with a few people but was really kinda quiet. He didn't play...he was just kinda there.

After the skate...I hear a few more people talking about him..."no, really...it's the goalie from slapshot". Turns out...it WAS Yvan Barrette. I guess he knows the guy who arranges these hockey trips. I went out to get an autograph and picture....and he pulls out a bunch of screenshots from the movie and signs it:

"Hey Matt, trade me right f**king now! Denis Lemieux #1 Yvan Barrette"

I got a pic too...but my buudy has to e-mail it to me still.

*L* My GF said I was beaming when I showed her the auto. She hasn't seen Slapshot...so she doesn't get it...if all goes well...she'll see it tonight.

Another vote for Slapshot.

The original version (in french Canadian) is hilarious.

Good to learn that the english translation was good aswell!

Not a movie, but has anybody seen that King's Ransom episode of 30 for 30 on ESPN. It's about Gretzky and the trade. Haven't seen it myself but it's setup to record on my DVR tonight, I think around 10pm.

I see some of you guys mentioned Les Boys, which are 4 great movies about a beer league team and their problems.

Do you all speak french or was it ever translated in english?
