What happens
Hockeyland a 2022 American documentary film directed by Tommy Haines and produced by Northland Films, immerses audiences deep in the heart of Minnesota's North Country, where hockey is just as central to life as football was to the fictional town of Dillon, Texas, and the frozen surface that separates every teenage boy from the man they hope to become one day criss-crossed with red and blue lines. The film opened theatrically as the #1 documentary in the country for the week of September 9 and was a 2022 Critics Choice nominee for "Best Sports Documentary". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
