cbenson77 I first saw this movie when I was a young girl. And I fell in love with it! Spear and Cathy are great. I love when they "picket" at the tournament against North Bay. And I also like Evelyn a lot as well. It is a good movie about growing up and some of the teen angst that kids used to go through. Too bad in today's society the problems they are facing kids now are drugs and whatnot. It used to be about simpler stuff like sticking up for your friends and fairness in sports. I am now 31 and it is still is one of my favorite movies. My husband bought it off of E-bay for me for a surprise Christmas gift two years ago. I was so happy. I usually end up watching this about every two months or so. Good 80's flick! I would suggest this movie to anyone.

Ravenswing Presaging the explosion of women's hockey and the questions arising with women playing on men's teams, this film managed to balance those issues with teen relationship angst.It's interesting to see the contrast in Follows' performance with the Anne Of Green Gables movies -- my friends and I rented Hockey Night solely to see more Follows, and because we were hockey fans -- and it's plain to see why she was cast here. She puts in quite a credible performance.About the only jarring element, though, was Cathy yelling at her boyfriend for jumping the goon that blindsided her. She's supposed to be a veteran goalie, and the ironclad rule of the era was that hockey players could never, at any level, for the fraction of an instant tolerate anything of the sort aimed at their goalies. What was notable wasn't that her boyfriend attacked the goon; the notable part was that the rest of the team didn't as well.6/10.

rebeccascherer I loved this movie as a kid. I fell in love with the characters. At this time in history it was very hard for girls to get into sports without female teams. I really wanted to see the puppy love of Spear and Cathy grow. I am a big fan of happily ever after.

yawow Hockey Night is the best movie I have ever watched! I taped it off of Wonderworks and I watch it at least once a month. Yannick Bisson is wonderful. It is a classic love story, Kathy and Spear are made for each other! If you like this movie you have got to see Yannick in Rookies.
