Mystery, Alaska

(Buena Vista)

When the legendary amateur hockey team of Mystery, Alaska, is asked to play a publicity game against NHL giants the New York Rangers, the tiny community suddenly finds its dignity at stake. More than just a display of one town's obsession with a sport, this film explores life within the close-knit community without being hoky or condescending. Plus, the climactic hockey game is white-knuckle intense and teaches the kids a few lessons on winning and losing.
