The Boys
Nothing in the world would make them miss their weekly game...
Directed by Louis Saia
Produced by Gouvernement Canadien, Fonds de télévision et de câblodistribution pour la production d'émissions canadiennes
A warm, affectionate comedy about a group of men bound by their weekly hockey ritual, celebrating friendship, escape, and the timeless joy of play.
Every Monday evening, at the arena, eleven men get together to lovingly put on the jersey of the Boys, the hockey team of a "garage" league to which they belong. As Stan, their revered trainer, would affectionately say, they have the "puck" tattooed on their hearts. It doesn't matter if they are lawyers, policemen, mechanics or unemployed, as soon as they enter the locker room, everyone forgets their age, their work and their problems.
