    I don't understand

    There are so many movies out in the world about this message, life is hard, the horrible thing about this is everyone in the movie is saying how bad this little boy is doing saying he can't make it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

    Great feel good movie

    Over due feel good movie. Loved the hockey scene which is usually lacking in ice hockey movies. True to life. Loved the them song theme song "Last Breath". The main actor, Jonathon Moch & supporting actor, Kate Barnett, were great. In California it is not uncommon to have co-Ed high school hockey team so it was nice to see a true representation of that. The training session were true examples of really hockey training which was again nice to see rather then something thrown together. I would love to see this movie in the theaters or at least available to order or purchase so other can enjoy this movie.

    Inspiring sports movie with positive messages!

    My sons loved this movie and wouldn't stop talking about it. Lots of positive messages, and the cast did a fantastic job.

    Eh

    Acting was very bland, not much fun to watch. I feel like the people reviewing it are being paid to give it good reviews or something. Wasn't impressed.

    • Trivia
      Because the director wanted to have authentic-looking hockey in the film he chose to cast all the roles of the hockey teams and coaches with real high school and college hockey players. He felt it would be better to look for hockey players that had some natural acting ability and give them acting coaches rather than trying to train actors to play hockey.

      Mia Schafer: You need to ask yourself, are you average? The average person can't push past the pain it takes to be great. This is the moment you have to ask yourself, are you willing to do whatever it takes.
