Terrible movie, but with some bits of awesomeness thrown in: The stick battles, the campy locker room grinning between oiled-up players (including then-NHL-star Steve Thomas in a cameo), the absurd character archetypes, an early Keanu Reeves appearance...

Sometimes it's hard to rate a movie that falls in to the "so bad, it's good" category. In the end, all of it's points are for the laughter.

I just wonder what the moral is supposed to be here. Apparently that if you can't fight, you're automatically a shitty player. Even though you score all goals for your team in every match.

So gay that it's almost possible to see the film as a comment that the real audience for movies like this are pre-sexual little boys and homosexual big boys.

Perhaps the cheesiest sports movie ever made (yes including even Rocky 4). I loved those animal-like goons - so much like the actual NHL.

An idiotic, insane premise that takes itself as seriously as a doctoral thesis. (Apparently, every hockey player has to be a professional level fighter) As if that weren't bad enough, it tries to shoehorn in a tired, nauseating romance subplot, all while refusing to offer the audience any comedy or action. There are a couple of unintentionally hilarious scenes, but that's about it.

Wow, that final fight is pretty intense. I love how they use their sticks like gigantic badass claymores. What the fuck was this movie? I want to love it because it's about hockey, but I just can't.

Pretty crap but it was one of the very first movies I ever saw boobs in.
