http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1456635/

It came out last year sometime and actually made it to theaters in some countries (not the US). It just recently hit some theaters here, but on a very limited scale. They're also advertising it as available On-Demand currently.

Even if you don't like hockey, this is a very good movie. It's funny, full of fighting, and the characters are so damn like-able.

I'd probably gives this one a solid 8/10. One of the better sports movies I've seen in a long long time.

Saw this about a month ago. Fucking loved it.

Seann William Scott AND Liev Schrieber? Playing enforcers on minor league hockey teams? Fuck yeah.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

This is up on netflix now, and thanks for recommending this way back.  I hate seann williams scott for the most part, but he nailed this one.  Fantastic movie.

Enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would.  It's a fun and mindless sporting romp with Seann Williams Scott doing some decent acting.  Oh yeah... and hockey with Canadian accents!

I watched this last night. I thought it was pretty good but could have done without the Jay Baruchel character.

Was waiting for this to hit Netflix instant queue, then forgot about it. Will definitely watch this weekend.

That can be said about almost every movie Jay Baruchel is in.

It was rough around the edges and obviously done on a budget, but it was amusing. The 'out in the parking lot giving herpes to some single mother' line killed me.
