Säsongen då Elitserien blev världens bästa liga. De strandade förhandlingarna mellan spelarfacket och NHL gjorde att världens största stjärnor plötsligt stod arbetslösa. Många av dem sökte sig till den bästa ligan på andra sidan Atlanten - Elitserien. Aldrig tidigare har prestigen, viljan och vinnarinstinkten varit större hos spelare, klubbar och media. Det redan glödheta intresset hos publiken blev om möjligt ännu större. Här kan du se filmen om säsongen samt massor av extramaterial - stjärnorna som kom hem, stjärnorna som hittade en ny liga, de inhemska stjärnorna som växte, det fula spelet, skandalerna, målen, passningarna, räddningarna, intervjuerna, kommentarerna och framförallt den ofattbara dramatiken i jakten på SM-guldet. Ett SM-guld som många menade var beviset på vilken klubb som under NHL-konfl ikten var världens bästa. Välkommen till en och en halv timmes hockeyaction!

On June 15, 2011, the Canucks’ Game 7 Stanley Cup Finals loss to the Boston Bruins sparked a massive riot in downtown Vancouver. Police cars were overturned and burned, windows were shattered, stores were looted, and waves of young people were caught up in the mayhem. From directors Asia Youngman and Kathleen Jayme, “I’m Just Here For The Riot” chronicles the aftermath of the event captured on hundreds of cell phone cameras, with the rioters outed, shamed, and their lives altered forever. From the mob mentality in the streets to similar vengeance in the online hunting of those responsible, it was a dark moment in the city’s history – one that raised deeper questions about fandom, violence, and the shocking power of an angry crowd.

A documentary that follows Canadian-born defenseman Luke Prokop as he decides to become the first — and still only — professional athlete playing under contract to an NHL team to come out as gay. Growing up in Edmonton steeped in Canada’s tough, often homophobic hockey culture, and playing without gay role models throughout professional sports, Luke’s path to coming out of the closet has been neither easy nor obvious. The film charts Prokop’s personal journey against the backdrop of a professional hockey industry that has had, at best, an ambivalent relationship to diversity. As the film sensitively reveals, being publicly out certainly came as an earthquake to his family, especially his father Al, who as Luke’s mentor and sometime coach represents the most complex and moving relationship in the film.

It also examines the unique bond between goalie partners – a relationship defined by mutual trust and respect, forged over years as both teammates and opponents.
A cartoon film about the whole heterogeneous mixture of Canada and Canadians, and the way the invisible adhesive called federalism makes it all cling together. That the dissenting voices are many is made amply evident, in English and French. But this animated message also shows that Canadians can laugh at themselves and work out their problems objectively.
