I'm not a hockey lover. I was born in the 70's, however, this movie brought me back some childhood memories when children were playing hockey in the streets, buying hockey cards, playing games with them. Also, the is a great depiction of the education provided in schools at that time. The reconstitution of the 60's, in terms of costume and all the set is amazing!!!! The actors are kids and they are doing a really fine job. The movie is not necessarily about hockey, it about the evolution of a young boy and the evolution of the society in which he evolves and also about being alone in life. I recommend that movie in VHS or DVD, it's excellent.
