1. Miracle (2004)
Director: Gavin O’Connor
The real-life account of former player turned coach Herb Brooks, who guided the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team to victory over the Soviet team appeared unbeatable. A nation was brought together by the inspiring tale of the team that went above and beyond the boundaries of its sport.
The novel depicts a time and place where disagreements could be resolved through competition and a cold war might be put on hold. It is based on the valid account of one of the greatest sporting events in history.
Herb Brooks, the coach of the United States ice hockey team, pitted a mismatched group of college students against the famed Soviet Union juggernaut at the 1980 Olympic Games. Despite the overwhelming odds, Team USA represented a nation that yearned for a break from the day’s news. – Hockey Movies
2. The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Director: Stephen Herek
Bombay meets the District 5 team and realizes the children have no practice facility, equipment, or ability. Their first game with Bombay at the helm is against the Hawks. Reilly is still the Hawks’ head coach and, despite a nearly unbroken championship streak, remains bitter about Gordon’s missed penalty shot.
District 5 is soundly defeated as Reilly demands the Hawks run up the score. Bombay berates the team for not listening to him, and the players challenge his authority. For the next match, Bombay tries to teach his team how to dive and draw penalties, which results in another loss – this time to the Jets – angering the team further. Charlie Conway in particular, defied orders from Bombay to fabricate an injury.
Bombay goes to see his former mentor Hans, who runs a neighboring sporting equipment shop and was there at the Hawks game.
While there, Bombay recalled that he stopped playing hockey because Reilly blamed him for the defeat due to the missed penalty shot and because he lost his father four months before the final game. Hans urges him to reignite the enthusiasm he had for the sport as a boy by ice skating in a frozen pond. – Hockey Movies
3. Red Army (2014)
Director: Gabe Polsky
The connection between politics and sports is covered in the movie. The movie describes how scouts for the National Hockey League courted athletes and finally overflowed NHL rosters. The film is especially critical of coach Viktor Tikhonov’s brutal methods; none of the players have positive things to say about him.
The players themselves tell the tale of the renowned Red Army hockey squad of the Soviet Union. Red Army is a feature-length documentary about the Soviet Union and the Red Army hockey team, the most prosperous dynasty in sports history.
The narrative shows Slava Fetisov, the ship’s captain, going from being a national hero to a political foe. The movie compares the emergence and fall of the Red Army squad with that of the Soviet Union and looks at how sport reflects social and cultural movements from the USSR to Russia. – Hockey Movies
4. Slap Shot (1977)
Director: George Roy Hill
The woeful Chiefs, a losing hockey team in the Federal League, are based in Charlestown, which is in the US Rust Belt. To the dismay of the players, the team’s unidentified owner forces manager Joe McGrath to engage in cheesy publicity to generate revenue.
There are many rumors among the players that the squad would disband if the nearby mill collapses. Reggie Dunlop, the team’s seasoned player, and coach, learns that the mill is indeed closing and that this would be the team’s final season just before the formal announcement is made. Reggie starts to concentrate on how to revive interest in the team for a potential sale as he knows if the unit folds, his hockey career is done.
Francine loves Reggie but doesn’t love his career. He starts a rumor that the owner is discussing a sale with a city in Florida without alerting anyone to his scheme. Additionally, he determines that “goon” hockey, namely employing the latent skills of the recently acquired menacingly innocent-looking Hanson brothers, is the best approach to rekindle local enthusiasm. – Hockey Movies
5. Ice Guardians (2016)
Director: Brett Harvey
Ice Guardians delves into the life of those who carry out the toughest job in the NHL: the enforcer, one of the most contentious and provocative professions in sports history. This documentary makes the case for “the enforcer” in professional hockey. Unsurprisingly, hockey violence is prevalent.
This documentary is largely one long highlight reel of hockey battles, except for the player interviews and the few fan and doctor interviews. Although there is some discussion of concussions and other injuries in professional hockey, as well as deaths, these facts are offered in the context of the claim that, in contrast to the common assumption, concussions and other injuries are not typically caused by hockey fights or the misconduct of enforcers.
A discussion regarding the significance of violence in hockey and sports in general, as well as whether or not such brutality appeals to our most primal instincts, should be sparked by this fascinating documentary. – Hockey Movies
6. The Love Guru (2008)
Director: Marco Schnabel
Pitka, a native of the United States who was raised abroad by gurus, goes home to start a self-help firm. His first task is to put an end to the marital strife and ensuing professional slump of a famous hockey player whose wife left him for another athlete.

To Maurice’s dismay, his Guru, Tugginmypudha, warns him and has a chastity belt fastened around his waist even if he approves of Deepak. Later, after becoming known as Guru Pitka in America, Maurice aspires to outperform Deepak Chopra on the Oprah Show. – Hockey Movies
7. Goon (2011)
Director: Michael Dowse

The Halifax Highlanders’ head coach recognizes Doug’s potential when an accidental confrontation with an on-ice brawler results in a violent fistfight that Doug easily wins.
Doug is only limited by his lack of hockey skills and his use of his brother’s outdated figure skates. Doug joins the squad despite the ridicule of the other players, and with the support of his hockey-crazed best friend, rapidly rises to the top. Hell will soon have the chance to compete against Ross “The Boss” Rhea and perhaps even get a woman. All that’s left for him to do is pick up skating. – Hockey Movies

9. Odd Man Rush (2020)
Director: Doug Dearth
Bobby Sanders of Harvard hockey is forced to face the realities of his childhood NHL fantasies when he ends himself in Sweden’s lesser leagues due to his involvement with the lady at the neighborhood market.
Odd Man Rush is a nice indie movie surprise that feels more like a character-driven slice-of-life story than an endless parade of genre cliches. It is a low-key and endearing blend of sports, humor, drama, and a touch of romance. Due to its acknowledged lack of high points and cheer-worthy moments, it may not go down in sports movie history, but what it lacks in manipulative, crowd-pleasing tropes it makes up for in unforced realism.
This movie is a rare type of sports movie that isn’t about winning or losing. It is based on the autobiographical book of the same name written by former hockey player Bill Keenan, who also acts as a co-screenwriter here. It’s about just being there. – Hockey Movies
10. Les Boys (1997)
Director: Louis Saia

A bar owner who sponsors the team is keen for his son to play hockey with the older men. The league championship, where the squad gets soundly defeated in the title game, is where the movie begins. The boss of the neighborhood organized crime syndicate is playing poker against the pub owner, and he is losing $50,000. When given the chance, the owner can only come up with $25,000 to repay him.
The gang boss offers up another wager after threatening to break his leg: a match between his side and Les Boys. If Les Boys triumph, the loan will be paid; but, if they fail, the crime boss will take ownership of the pub. – Hockey Movies
