To me, this movie is perfection.
One of my all time favorites.
Fresh and Exciting
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I first saw this movie on HBO in 1984 Or 1985. I thought it was a great story because at the time I loved hockey and I liked being a teenager in love. I watched it about 20 times and never got bored. Excellent.
When I usually watch a movie I liked 15 years ago, I can´t understand how it could affect me the way it did back then. But last night, when I watched Hockey Night again, I almost felt like I was 12. It might not be the most unique plot, or the best photo, but it has captured the way it feels to be a young teenager in a small town. The cast is not 30-year olds trying to act 14, but young teenagers acting their age. When you are 14 a kiss and a glance is a big deal and it doesn´t have to be much more to spin the whole world around. This movie gives young people a chance to realize that you don´t have to act like a grownup when you still are in high school.
I loved this movie as a kid. I fell in love with the characters. At this time in history it was very hard for girls to get into sports without female teams. I really wanted to see the puppy love of Spear and Cathy grow. I am a big fan of happily ever after.
Hockey Night is the best movie I have ever watched! I taped it off of Wonderworks and I watch it at least once a month. Yannick Bisson is wonderful. It is a classic love story, Kathy and Spear are made for each other! If you like this movie you have got to see Yannick in Rookies.
