Abstract:
Lovingly restored and digitally remastered, HOCKEY NIGHT features Canadian icon Megan Follows (Anne of Green Gables) as Cathy Yarrow, a confident and talented young athlete. Having moved to a small town, the bored and under-challenged Cathy straps on goalie pads and joins the boys' all-star hockey team-facing substantial criticism from the town, including local broadcaster Bum Johnson (Maury Chaykin) and the team's sponsor, lumber magnate Bill Moss (Henry Ramer)-both think girls have no place on the ice. Under pressure, Cathy stands firm between the pipes, helping the team win games while winning herself loyal allies in star player Spear Kozak (Yannick Bisson) and coach Willie Liepert (Rick Moranis).. Ahead of its time when it was first released, HOCKEY NIGHT is a story of adolescent relationships, the struggles of small-town politics, and triumphing over the pressures of the adult world, It's a perfect film for families, sports enthusiasts and cinephiles, as well as those studying women in sports and changing norms. HOCKEY NIGHT is an inspiration for a new generation of aspiring athletes of all genders.
