Worst Hockey Movies

1. Slap Shot 2 - Breaking the Ice
Starring: Stephen Baldwin, Gary Busey, the Hanson Brothers

Not only the worst hockey movie ever, but quite possibly one of the overall worst movies ever made. This should have never been released, let alone taken the title of the original. This movie is not funny at all. If you're a fan of Slap Shot and the Hanson Brothers, don't even bother with this.



2. D3 - the Mighty Ducks
Starring: Emilio Estevez, Joshua Jackson

Terrible story. The Mighty Ducks players somehow all attend the same private school to play hockey. They weren't all good in the first 2 movies. Instead of playing other teams, they have a big game against......the varsity team from the same school!!! If these kids are so good, why aren't they on the varsity team to begin with?



3. D2 - the Mighty Ducks
Starring: Emilio Estevez, Joshua Jackson, Keenan Thompson

I loved the original and I was so excited for this movie. It wasn't a horrible film but there were several things that ruined it for me. First, the "knuckle puck" - SNL cast member Keenan Thompson went from street hockey star right to the ice with no problem. Second, the uniform change at the end of the big game. You get 15-20 minutes between periods, you don't have time to change your entire uniform including pads, especially goalies -- new jerseys would have been good enough. Finally, when they called the time-out at the last minute and had "knuckle-puck" boy come out as goalie and score the winning goal?? What the hell? Goalies can't skate out that far and a time-out is 30 seconds, it would take 40 minutes to change goalie pads.



4. Sudden Death
Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Powers Boothe

An action movie (1995) where Van Damme plays the hero who must save the Pittsburg Penguins fans from terrorists. He somehow ends up playing goalie (it's game 7 of the finals too). They got Bill Clement, Luc Robatille and Markus Naslund to make appearances.



5. National Lampoon's Pucked
Starring: Jon Bon Jovi

If Jon Bon Jovi is the lead actor, how could it possibly be good, especially if it's a hockey movie? He plays a con artist who attempts to start a women's hockey league using only attractive women. It's another piece of garbage spewed out by the National Lampoon francise (they release these terrible direct-to-video movies every week it seems).



6. MVP - Most Valuable Primate
Starring: A Monkey

I am embarrased to admit I actually watched this. It's about a monkey that plays hockey...they went on to make a bunch of sequels with the monkey playing other sports (Air Bud anyone?). This was made for young kids that know nothing about hockey, or else they would hate it.



7. Slap Shot 3 - The Junior League
Starring: The Hanson Brothers

This one I haven't even seen...but I've heard it is worse than Slap Shot 2. The Hanson Bros are now coaching a team of kids.
