Roxio CinemaNow - New England Hockey:Life at the Rink

Winters in New England are long, dark and very cold; and for most New Englanders, the one thing that keeps them going is a sport that has roots deeper than any other Hockey. New England Hockey is a look into the very close knit worlda world that is connected by family, tradition and passion. From the toddlers learning to skate for the first time at Pilgrim Ice Arena in Hingham to Mike O'Connell, General Manager of the Boston Bruins, everyone who shares in the sport of hockey is incredibly linked. It is a world that continues to both feed itself and the NHL with wonderful characters and talent. Twin Brothers Mike & Joe Devin are the Captains of the Catholic Memorial Varsity club and live in Situate just a few blocks away from Ted Donatoformer Bruin and current coach of Harvard Hockey. They also learned to skate at Pilgrim Arena at age 4 and are both now committed to Cornell for next year. Yet they wait for this year's NHL draft where they'll see if they'll get the opportunity, like so many others before them, to get cheered at the Garden by folks like 47 year old Paula Mattaliano, a 4'11 dynamo who leads section 307, a never say die faithful who, because of a love for the Bruins have become life-long friends. This is an intimate look from the cradle to the grave of what Boston Hockey looks and feels like.
