Hey everyone. I wanted to post this earlier but I didn't have a chance until now.

I was given a couple of passes last week to go view a screening of a documentary titled 'Les Chiefs'. It was based on the Laval Chiefs of the Quebec Senior League (now the LNAH) and followed the lives of 3 or 4 of their fighters. A couple of them actually lived in the arena - under the bleachers in a converted apartment. It focused mostly on four players - Mike Henderson, Mike Bajurny, Brady Austin and Cory Holland.

While the film begins by focusing on the brutality of the fighting. It quickly carries you into the personal lives of these hockey players. Showing you how difficult it is mentally and emotionally to play this role on a team.

Les Chiefs is funny, entertaining and touching all at once. It has been part of numerous film festivals and I believe it will be for sale in March sometime. If anybody gets a chance to go see this movie - it is well worth it. I took my girlfriend (not a hockey-fight fan) and she really enjoyed the movie too since it is not just about the violence. Let others know what you thought of it if you get a chance to see it.

You can read up on it a little more. Hey everyone.

I've been waiting almost two years to see this movie. It's finally coming out on DVD next month. My copy is already pre-ordered. You can order it at amazon.ca, just be careful that you order the english version. Mike Bajurny, Mike Henderson, and Cory Holland still play in the league. I'm really looking forward to seeing 'Belt Guy', the Chiefs superfan.
