“Iu0026#39;m a hockey fan, and when your Dad is from just south of the Iron Range, raised going Up North u0026amp; to the Range to see extended family. I was taught that is where, in the u0026quot;State of Hockeyu0026quot; that it was born out there on frozen lakes u0026amp; outdoor rinks. The footage of Eveleth u0026amp; the Range was breathtaking, reminded me of all the drives in/through town. The same for the shots of Hermantown, and surrounding area of Duluth. The footage did an outstanding job capturing what a hockey family endures, the lengths it goes to (not just in drives for games either) for the boys, and how the community gets behind the team. Itu0026#39;s games u0026amp; teams like what this documentary showed, that are what I think of when I think of hockey. Families with generations of hockey history, who have it in their blood, and know itu0026#39;s about the level of skill u0026amp; dedication. Also, a nice surprise to catch a glimpse of family in the film. Canu0026#39;t wait to stream and watch again.”
