This hockey comedy is a true phenomenon. Les Boys captured the hearts of Canadian audiences with its rowdy humour, down to earth characterizations and appealing plots. Stan (Girard), the very likeable tavern owner and hockey coach, allows himself to run up a huge gambling debt to Meo (Lebeau), the local Mob boss. Even Meo likes the easygoing owner of the self-named, blue-collar tavern Chez Stan, so he offers him a deal. If his team, Les Boys, can defeat Meo’s band of thugs at a game of hockey, the tavern remains his. If not, the Mob will take over Chez Stan. Naturally, Les Boys, an out-of-shape group of hockey enthusiasts, are highly motivated to win the game. How they go about doing so is the basis of this popular comedy hit.

“Surprisingly effective French Canadian amateur hockey farce has a ragtag bunch of players facing off against a superior team ... Followed by three sequels – those Canadians love a good hockey movie!” — Christopher Null, FilmCritic.com
