Very lame ice-hockey flick.

Harmless enough, but its schematic retread of a screenplay and its lethargic acting detracts from the unassuming, passable entertainment it might have been.

The film is remarkably oblivious to the fact that if the team weren't hell-bent on a championship, young moviegoers would be significantly less interested in its adventures.

I chose to work as a cashier at a gas station over being an extra in this. I chose wisely.

A poorly directed and utterly predictable yarn aimed at the small fry, who will probably be entertained by its simplicity.

Those not yet wise to formulaic pablum are likely to enjoy this ice hockey kiddie ensemble comedy. But their older escorts might want to bring a novel and a flashlight, or a Walkman or portable television with earphones.
