User Reviews

Great portrayal of keeping the dream alive

The acting was great and the entire movie really good. Hockey movies can be iffy but this one did a good job. Anyone who knows anything about trying to keep the dream alive by going to play wherever they'll have you will relate to this film. They did a great job of making upstate NY and Colgate look like the deep deep minors of Germany and desolate rural small-town Sweden. I was very pleasantly surprised. Even you are not familiar with the topic the movie stands on its own as all the characters are memorable, really well portrayed and the story believable. 2 thumbs up.
