If you look closer you will see the girl is higher up in the bleachers and is wearing a completely zipped up green coat with a collar, and a tall knit hat. She is to the right and about two rows behind Hank. A few minutes later Skank is hit with the puck. A few seconds later Hank is seen again saying "Mommy!" at that point you will see her her again with part of the yellow sign in her lap. The camera then shows the woman who hit him with the shovel. She is sitting in a lower section, and is dressed in a light pink coat with a hood, wearing a larger hat, and wearing a white scarf.. She has no sign anywhere near her of a yellow poster.

I must admit, the first time a saw a poster of this movie, I thought it would be silly and dumb. Therefore, I avoided watching it. After a couple of years it was on TV and I didn't have anything better to do at the moment, so I sat down and watched it. After seeing it, I was sold!!!! Wat a great and fun movie to watch. I spent the next 2 years looking for it on DVD. Thank god, movies are much easier to find in the US. During my internship here I finally found it.The movie is about a small Alaskan town where hockey is the way of living. The local team consists out of a bunch of talented but crazy characters. However the team and the rest of the small town get very serious when a publicity stunt takes place and the local team gets the chance to play an exhibition game against NHL team, New York Rangers. To give the movie a more serious impact, there are also some more serious things going around some of the teammates and other residents. A team captain who doesn't feel appreciated but the mayor. A hockey player who realizes that having sex with to many people has consequences, The wife of the mayor has a secret that her husband ultimately finds out and the friendly assistant of the mayor, who stands up to the people who make fun of his 'Lumberjack' town. The humor combined with the dramatic tint makes this movie excellent for the whole family. Fans of hockey and humor will definitely have a good time watching this. I've learned now that a poster doesn't mean anything. I missed out on a great movie for a long time because of thinking like that. Never again!!!9 out of 10 for this one. Fun fun movie!!!

It's a pretty big name cast with Burt Reynolds, Colm Meaney, Russell Crowe, Mike Myers & Hank Azaria.Take a bunch of unknown skaters in a small town in Alaska then throw in the idea their that good they attract the attention of the mighty NHL.Then you have the fight, will the New York Rangers come to the town now they have spent a lot of money? Obviously and eventually they do come to the town and the game is played. With what you might think to be a predictable outcome. But that's totally not the case.The game itself is pretty good even for non-hockey fans, entertaining enough to keep you watching. All the actors play their characters very well, even the normally very annoying Crowe.Worth a look, even if your not a hockey fan, it's a decent feel good sports movie and you can root for the underdogs.

I had no idea at the time that I would enjoy a movie about hockey, and I was right, because this movie had nothing really to do with hockey.It's a great character based movie about a small town that makes it big and the reason the town makes it big is because of it's people. It's a great rocky type movie that makes you root for a small town and it's wonderful characters. Russell Crowe is excellent as well as the entire cast and a great turn by Burt Reynolds as the town judge and coach. This is a very well crafted, witty , warm and realistic and just a charming movie overall. Don't let the hockey fool you, this is a movie about people and a quite enjoyable movie I may add.
