Goofs:
Factual errors: The Memorial Cup, though a real trophy, is not awarded to the winner of a Best of 7 series. Nor, is it awarded to the OHL (Ontario Hockey League) Champion, as seen in the movie. Instead it is awarded to the winner of a Round Robin Tournament hosted by a single team (rotating between the 3 Leagues that make the Canadian Hockey League). With the Champions from the WHL (Western Hockey League), OHL (Ontario Hockey League) and the QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League), as well as the Host team participating. more

Murray Chadwick: Where'd you get these guys from, Ray? Mexico.

Murray Chadwick: Like that sorry son of a bitch who just tripped over the blueline.

An insult to our game., 2 September 2001
5/10
Author: Jennifer (casperj_17) from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

As a Canadian, and a hockey fan, I was insulted by the style of this movie and how poorly our Canadian game was potrayed. I don't want to ruin this movie for anyone, however it is 15 years old & fairly predictable. So, we have an American teenager who is a complete wuss playing in a nothing hocky league who goes to Canada to play junior. He manages to play well, score with the coaches daughter, leave his team because his friend/teamate gets severely injured, comes back for the "big game" & scores a hat trick (3 goals) no less to win it. Then, he fights the toughfest goon in the league in a stick fight??? And wins??? That whole scenario actually happening is as about as believable as Keanu Reeves French Canadian accent, and Patrick Swayze as some hard core hockey player. Albeit, junior hockey is pretty rough, there are more fights, however, I do not believe there is such a thing as a stick fight, nor do you ever see a coach jump into the stands & fight with a fan,and it is a rarity to see a skilled player who is not a fighter, engage in a fight with a total goon and win. Hockey wise, this movie blows. And as for the love story, what can I say accept that it is fromage 80's. This movie is watchable, but you can't help but feel embarassed for the people who are in this movie.
