Hockey Movies, Lost and Found

Wednesday October 13, 2004
"I got a good deal on those boys. The scout said they showed a lot of promise."
"They brought their %*&*# toys with 'em!"
"I'd rather have 'em playing with their toys than playing with themselves."
"They're too dumb to play with themselves!"

Some go for the groaning metaphorical heft of a baseball film. Others prefer a football movie, where you can usually count on a triumph-of-the-spirit ending. But hockey fans know that Slap Shot is the film that truly captures the essence of sport.

If the NHL lockout leaves a gaping hole in your life, this selection of Top Hockey Movies on Video and DVD will help keep the fires burning. Also, check our selection of the Lost Hockey Movies, just in case one of them should ever turn up on the late show.
