The NHL season starts in October, which means fans have a lot of time ahead of them to wait for games.
We haven’t had an NHL hockey game to watch since June 26th, when the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup against the Tampa Bay Lightning in game six. We are about a month and a half removed from the end of the season and still have a month and a half to go until next season.
With all that in mind, I thought it would be fun to look at a few hockey movies that everyone should watch.
I will be honest, there are not a lot of great hockey movies out there. Goon almost made this list considering the few hockey movies available to pick from. Football and baseball have an endless repertoire of movies to pick from, and hockey doesn’t have the biggest library.
Let’s jump in with the first movie hockey fans should watch this summer:
– Miracle
Miracle stars Kurt Russell as coach Herb Brooks. The movie follows the 1980 US men’s Olympic hockey team as they try to win a gold medal.
The movie, directed by Gavin O’Connor, is a true story and has some amazing camera work done on ice. . While there are not a lot of hockey movies out there, this sports movie is not just a top hockey movie, it is one of the best sports movies of all time.
