Hockey Night

This is just one of those movies that meant something to me from my childhood. I used to see this movie after school on HBO and always wanted to be Kathy Yarrow. She was this girl who is displaced because of her parents divorce and in a new smaller town where they don't have a girl's hockey team. She battles to get on the boy's team and wins not only making friends and overcoming obstacles that she didn't think was possible but meeting a boy who believed in her too. I will never forget Spear. He was a major crush for me back in the 80's. When I met my husband, we both mentioned this movie and loved it! We ended up finding it in an old video store. It was just something special we had together. I highly recommend this movie and hope that you make new memories and give your kids the opportunity to create their own memories from this great family friendly movie.

I first saw this movie when I was a young girl. And I fell in love with it! Spear and Cathy are great. I love when they "picket" at the tournament against North Bay. And I also like Evelyn a lot as well. It is a good movie about growing up and some of the teen angst that kids used to go through. Too bad in today's society the problems they are facing kids now are drugs and whatnot. It used to be about simpler stuff like sticking up for your friends and fairness in sports. I am now 31 and it is still is one of my favorite movies. My husband bought it off of E-bay for me for a surprise Christmas gift two years ago. I was so happy. I usually end up watching this about every two months or so. Good 80's flick! I would suggest this movie to anyone.

When I usually watch a movie I liked 15 years ago, I can´t understand how it could affect me the way it did back then. But last night, when I watched Hockey Night again, I almost felt like I was 12. It might not be the most unique plot, or the best photo, but it has captured the way it feels to be a young teenager in a small town. The cast is not 30-year olds trying to act 14, but young teenagers acting their age. When you are 14 a kiss and a glance is a big deal and it doesn´t have to be much more to spin the whole world around. This movie gives young people a chance to realize that you don´t have to act like a grownup when you still are in high school.

Hockey Night is the best movie I have ever watched! I taped it off of Wonderworks and I watch it at least once a month. Yannick Bisson is wonderful. It is a classic love story, Kathy and Spear are made for each other! If you like this movie you have got to see Yannick in Rookies.

I first saw this movie back in 1984 or 1985. It instantly became my favorite movie. I haven't seen it since. Still after all these years, I remember how as a kid this movie touched me. Everyone should see this movie at least once. Especially if you love hockey and a good clean love story.
