Some scenes were filmed at the War Memorial in Johnstown which is just down the street from where I work. Sadly Johnstown's most recent team (the Chiefs) was bought out a few years ago.<br /><br />I'm a casual hockey fan but the Penguins are getting crushed right now so no reason for me to watch. American football's the only sport I get really passionate about.Groggy Dundeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990254767008162244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-78025165832370647072012-04-15T11:57:11.551-04:002012-04-15T11:57:11.551-04:00I kind of guessed that you are a Canucks fan becau...I kind of guessed that you are a Canucks fan because if I remember well you live in BC? The whole city here is at the edge of its seat to see if there'll be a huge announcement soon. With the new Colisée and the rumors of the moving of the Phoenix Coyotes we think that after Winnipeg it is our turn to get our team back!<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of Sports films either but I thought it would be interesting to list some Hockey films because I've been enjoying the playoffs lately.MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-87313070329659765862012-04-15T11:53:38.449-04:002012-04-15T11:53:38.449-04:00I've seen this one and it made me laugh that K...I've seen this one and it made me laugh that Kurt Russell only accepted the role because the movie was shot in where he lives, in Vancouver if I remember correctly.<br /><br />I know that the American market doesn't enjoy Hockey as much as the Canadian market. However, I have trouble following a Baseball game. I think it is a question of interest in my case... <br /><br />Thanks for answering Chip!MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-46594560295843276872012-04-15T11:33:12.076-04:002012-04-15T11:33:12.076-04:00I am a huge hockey fan, the Canucks are my team, b...I am a huge hockey fan, the Canucks are my team, but I love to follow all the series. This is the most exciting time of the year! Also, I hope you guys get your team back soon. <br /><br />However, I'm not into hockey films or sports movies in general because they are all so cliched. Out of your list the only one I enjoyed was the Richard biopic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379353038189641208.post-37676101476879465312012-04-14T21:10:11.374-04:002012-04-14T21:10:11.374-04:00Admittedly, hockey falls number four for me after ...Admittedly, hockey falls number four for me after baseball, football, and basketball. While I have no interest in ever attending a pro football game, hockey is the sport where the televised version does not do it justice. It's pretty much impossible for me to follow the puck on TV. I usually just see what direction people are skating to see where the puck is. Seen live, though, hockey is much easier to follow. (The University of Maine had a couple of national championships several years back which were fun to watch. I actually prefer college hockey over pro hockey because there aren't the stupid interruptions for fights.)<br /><br />In answer to your question, I'll have to go pro-USA and pick Miracle about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
