Greatest Hits - Hockey Movies

With The MUO Bro's timely piece about the best golf movies out there I figured I could enlighten you bros about the best hockey movies since the playoffs are coming up. 

5. Mystery, Alaska: Just a solid David and Goliath story. And Russell Crowe is the man. 

4. Youngblood: 1986 flow. To quote an equally legendary film in "Dodgeball," "It's gotta be the hair. Feathered and lethal. You just don't see that nowadays." 

3. Slapshot: Paul Newman is great in this gongshow of a movie. The Hanson brothers steal the spotlight though with their fly glasses and uhh...skills on the ice. Must see for any hockey fan.

2. Miracle: An absolute classic. You don't even have to be a hockey fan to appreciate this ode to the U - S - of fucking A. I started writing my favorite quotes from each movie but had to take them all out because I have too many from this movie. From "Who do you play for?" to "OC is playin' baby!" to "How much could happen in 8 seconds?" and everything in between. This movie should just be a part of the citizenship test already. 

1. The Mighty Ducks (whole series, although let's be honest the second one is clearly the best): If you didn't grow up watching this phenomenal trilogy of films I don't want to even think about the horror that your childhood must have been. The reason this beat "Miracle" for the number one spot is because this movie is what got a lot of hockey players into the game and how I started following the sport. This thing started it all. Put it next to "The Sandlot," it's forever a classic.
