Young Blood Starring Rob Lowe is a great movie.....but this is not it. Its a Western from 1953, please dont buy this if your looking for the Hockey movie. I made the mistake of that already because of a mis-advised early review. Thank You.

Although there is a Hockey Movie of the same name, this is not it! This is a 1950's cowboy movie. I bought it because of seeing the WRONG review! Don't be miss informed, this is not the all time greatest hockey movie!
