The 10 Best Hockey Moments In Non-Hockey Movies

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

When Casey Jones puts on the goalie mask, his hockey temper comes out. He puts a serious beating on the bad guys and he peppers his fight with Rafael with more hockey jargon than you would find at a Canadian sports bar.

Swingers

Vince Vaughn and Patrick Van Horn prove that nothing is sweeter than taking your favorite NHL team through the playoffs and winning Lord Stanley's Cup on Sega Genesis. Offsides is turned off, of course.

Cool Runnings

Not even John Candy's special, Canadian shoes can help the Jamaican bobsled team when it comes to the rink. Things don't get any better once the Russians hit the ice. The sheer number of stereotypes on one slab of ice is impressive in itself.

Friday the 13th Part III

You might not realize this, but Jason doesn't even put on his trademark mask until Part III of the horror saga. It's a substantial upgrade from the dirty bag that he was previously running around town in.

Clerks

Kevin Smith doesn't try to keep his love of hockey secret from his fans. After losing the ball for their rooftop game of hockey, Dante calls down to the sidewalk to see if there are any balls down there. Jay’s response: “About the biggest pair you ever seen, dingleberry!”

Wayne's World

It's one of the funniest moments in the whole movie and it brought the phrase, "game on" into our arsenal of movie quotes. The video is the French version for some reason, but it offers some extra humor in the form of Wayne's unecessary Gretzky impression.

Happy Gilmore

This is the closest thing on the list to actually being a hockey movie. We could've picked the romantic scene later on, but, in our professional opinions, hockey and romance should never have anything to do with one another.

Canadian Bacon

South Park took Canada bashing to another level, but John Candy, Rhea Perlman, and Kevin J. O'Connor knew exactly how to piss off our friends from the North. Good thing they didn’t make a comment about the Mounties or a moose otherwise they wouldn’t have made it out of the rink alive.

Dumb and Dumber

On the ice, Cam Neely was one of the original "Bash Brothers" of hockey, so it’s a good thing that Jeff Daniels and Jim Carey were acting when they pissed him off, otherwise Sea Bass would have really had a reason to “kick some ass.”

Mallrats

Not too many movies give props to the only professional sports team ever to call Connecticut home, but Brodie explains the pain that all true Whalers fans still have to deal with: “Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, ‘the Whale,’ they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.”
