this poll is from Sports in Movieshttp://www.sportsinmovies.com/best-movies/hockey.asp I'm not sure but that might be every hockey movie ever made if MVP is up near the top (it is top 30 maybe if there were 30 but I wouldn't even rate if there were only 10) and Love Guru is even on there. I love how they blatantly make the call that D2 is better than D3, but D3 is still up there, that's stupid. I guess a new one would be Tooth Fairy, it was the only movie on a flight back from Brussels. Does Senseless or the Dead Zone count at all? The only ones I've seen are Miracle, Slap Shot, D1, D2, Mystery Alaska, and 40% of MVP. I kind of want to see the Walter Gretzky Story now that I saw it exists.

I feel like I'm betraying something but I have to go with MIghty Ducks. I think as many adults like the movie as us kids did, and I'm sorry but this then Sandlot are you kidding me, and you wonder why our generation is jacked up for the cake. It has everything you want in a movie, betrayal, tenacity, redemption, fall from grace, good prevailing, what else do you want? The thing that killed Might Ducks 2 was what are the goodwill games and when has anyone ever cared about the goodwill games like they do the goodwill games in the movie. Otherwise it was the same as the first but took it global, made it a world war.

Update:  Nope, it's slap shot
