Hockeyland

Big Sky Documentary Film Festival

Hockey is religion in northern Minnesota, where ponds freeze over, snow drifts deep and kids strap up skates as soon as they can walk. In this episode of the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival podcast, ESPN Missoula's Colter Nuanez is joined by director Tommy Haines, producer Andrew Sherburne and cinematographer Ben Handler of the film Hockeyland, an up-close look at two high school hockey teams chasing a state championship while carrying the pressures of their puck-obsessed towns.
