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 have not seen the movie yet I just ordered it because the summery caught my eye because it is about my life,but I think it will be great!!! I am a female goalie I have been playing ice hockey for 11 years but goalie for 3 of them and I moved to a girls team because the co ed team did not let me try being goalie because I was a girl! It was there loss though. Playing goalie came natural to me and I was on the select team for new england my second year playing goalie!My dad was a goalie that is why I wanted to be a goalie, but I love that you made a movie about this topic because it really does happen in hockey and I am so excited to see the movie I bet it will be great!!!
I loved this movie as a kid. I fell in love with the characters. At this time in history it was very hard for girls to get into sports without female teams. I really wanted to see the puppy love of Spear and Cathy grow. I am a big fan of happily ever after.
I remember this movie from when I was a young tyke in the early 80's I think. I taped it on our vcr and I literally watched it almost everyday over summer holidays. I was huge into hockey so that helped. Great film. Highly recommend it!
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.
