5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Movie great for all ages!!!!, January 17, 2007

This review is from: In the Crease (DVD)

This movie captures a very unique perspective on youth ice hockey. It touches on the struggles of the kids that play, the parents who take part and the families that give up alot of other things to come together and enjoy an experience that is truly 'once in a lifetime'. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the film from start to finish and the clips with professional players just reinforced the message that was there. If you want to see some glamour film about hockey go rent, slap shot, youngblood or miracle, if you want real hockey about kids who live to play & breathe this is the movie to buy and see.
Highly recommend this film to any parents or kids who are looking for a story about hockey w/out the glitz & glamour, just the story of kids from California that nobody said could play at the level of kids from big hockey areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars WE LOVED IT!, December 28, 2006

This review is from: In the Crease (DVD)

I bought this DVD for my ten year old as a Christmas present and we both thought it was excellent. The hockey is great, the kids in the story are really likeable, and the ending totally surprised us. It was definitely better than most Hollywood movies and no bad language or inappropriate stuff for kids either! Just an all around great hockey story.

5.0 out of 5 stars This film is Right On, December 3, 2006

By 

Hockey Parent (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Crease (DVD)

These filmmakers got it right. They capture every element of being a serious young athlete working hard to "Make it happen". The film is also jam packed with cameo appearances by professional hockey players recalling their years in youth hockey. It is true; players never forget a goal, that big win or disappointing loss. This hockey team that made it to Nationals may be out of California, with quite a mix of ethnic backgrounds, but they know how to play hockey. Good watching.
