This review is from: The Chiefs (DVD)

This movie really surprised me. In the vein of "Murderball," this documentary is told like a narrative. Filled with compelling likeable characters, you witness their transformations as the hockey season progresses. You really begin to connect with their frustrations, joy and perserverence as they try to break out of the most violent league in hockey for a chance to enter the majors.

A movie that could have easily turned into sensationalistic tripe instead tells a moving story about a few Average Joe's trying to make it big in a sport that constantly knocks them to the ground (literally). A definite must for hockey/sports fans and documentary fans!

I really didn't know what to expect on this one. It's nice suprise that they showed hockey life behind the scenes. The community living was funny and the guys were pretty laid back thou still wanted to play hard and get contracts for higher level teams/leagues.

I think this is a nice documentary about a team in the toughest league in the world.

If you like hockey, you'll probably want to get this into your collection of hockey related DVD's.
