Youngblood. 1986.
Rob Lowe plays the young farm hand who has ambitions of being a hockey player and is snapped up by a scout to try for the Canadian Hamilton Mustangs.
You don't need to be a fan of ice hockey to enjoy this little number from the 80s, with Patrick Swayze as the team mate who is a bit cocky and ends up feeling the end of the stick from opponent George Finn. Ed Lauter is the tough but fair team coach who's daughter Cynthia Gibb has a crush on the new team member. As much as this is a good sports film and decent acting adds up to the small drama mixed in to make it entertaining.
