Critic Reviews

  • Derek Adams, Time Out

    Very lame ice-hockey flick.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    The film is remarkably oblivious to the fact that if the team weren't hell-bent on a championship, young moviegoers would be significantly less interested in its adventures.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    It must be said that this movie is sweet and innocent, and that at a certain level it might appeal to younger kids. I doubt if its ambitions reach much beyond that.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    Those not yet wise to formulaic pablum are likely to enjoy this ice hockey kiddie ensemble comedy. But their older escorts might want to bring a novel and a flashlight, or a Walkman or portable television with earphones.

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    Steven Brill, who has a small role in the film, constructed the screenplay much as one would put together some of those particleboard bookcases from Ikea.

    Saw it again!!! The movie sure is great and inspirational. One of my favorite movies growing up, I was 10 when it came out on the bigscreen. Love it!!! Gordon Bombay, a hotshot lawyer, is haunted by memories of his childhood, when, as the star player in his champion hockey team, he… More
