The Fan Connection (2019)
An inspirational film about the human side of hockey fanhood
I was expecting this to be a movie about people going to games and rooting for the Sabres. What I got was a little bit of that and a heartwarming dose of the reality that this group of fans face, not only when it comes to the Sabres but their own lives. It's easy to think of a fan base for a team as an extension of that team and ultimately feel a certain way about them based on how you feel about the team. This brings you face to face with the real people, into their lives, their homes, and their cars. I didn't expect to be brought to tears during this movie but it made me feel all the feels and I'm happy to have seen in. It makes me proud to be a Sabres fan and gives me a different perspective of the fans of other teams, love or hate those teams, that those fans are people, too, outside of their hockey team affiliation.
