I'm going to throw my money behind Goon. Largely because I actually saw it on the cinema and as a UK based fan it's one of the few that my friends actually know about.

You?

Slap Shot is an oldie, but, goodie.

Slap Shot and it's not even close.

This, and then this again some more.

The Mighty Ducks isn’t the best, but I feel like it deserves an honorable mention.

Goon only because I have to pick. Slapshot is next on the list.

"Because it's hilarious!"

After hard deliberation, I'm with you on this top 2.

My 3rd place goes to Strange Brew.

I guess that leaves Miracle at 4? That can't be right. It's so hard to choose.

Honorable (nay, haloed) mention to every Mighty Ducks movie.

I love Goon.

But D2 The Mighty Ducks holds a special place in my heart because of how much i saw it as a kid. That Iceland Coach is one best movie villains ever.

Goon is pretty good!

I really like Miracle. Apparently it is fairly accurate, except they made the coach more likeable in the movie than he was IRL, which is fine for a movie.

Such a good movie

Scratch that. On second thought it's the movie Slap Shot, but the French Canadian dubbed version.

Mighty Ducks Trilogy!

Anyone remember "Mystery Alaska?" Definitely not the best hockey movie, but I thought it was great.

That was the first film I ever streamed. On a WiiU. Just like god intended.
