Puck U

Screenwriter John Rice will make his directorial debut on the hockey comedy "Stan's Cup" says The Hollywood Reporter

The movie centers on a broken-down, once-great hockey player who gets a chance to finally fill his legendary father's skates by giving his hometown, known as Hockeytown USA, a pseudo rematch of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" game against a Russian team of ex-Olympians.

Rice also wrote the script.

Shooting begins this Spring in Minnesota

Slap Shot is greatest film comedy about Hockey ever made...I am dubious about the prospects of this flick coming close to that. We'll see.
