I don't remember where I was watching this, but I remember watching this before making my way to downtown Toronto to watch with other Canadians on the big screens at Yonge-Dundas Square. All I know, is that when I saw Michael get up off the bench, skate around, puck handle and shoot, I teared up. I don't know how many takes they needed to capture him playing well, but the fact that he probably had to do multiple takes even with Parkinson's made me admire the man even more.
An American From Florida.. Inline my entire life Loved MJF for his films Moved to Alaska... Took to ice for one season. Won the beer league championship Watched this video before every game A love affair with a game we cannot describe. Perfect words
For a long time when I was a kid in the 80s watching mjfox movies I always thought he was American but my surprise I learned he was Canadian some great actors come from Canada sorry legends love u Canada from Ireland
Still gives me chills up the spine watching this 10 years later. I think I read that Michael's portion of the video was shot at Mike Bossy's home rink on Long Island. Does anyone know if this is true?
The ONLY thing that they should've had as an intro for the game would be the original HNIC theme. Didn't recognize it at the time, but it's a shame they did not. Especially when we won it
Really? Tell that to Ryan Kesler, Patrick Kane, Ryan Miller, Jaromir Jagr, Zdeno Chara, the Sedin twins, Mike Modano, and every other American, Russian, Czech, Swede, German, etc. who plays in the NHL or for their country or in their country. Hockey is an international sport - American football is played nowhere else.

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2015
+David Selimovic Sorry I'm watching it in 2016.
Good. Nice to see that time itself has not remained in a paused state, thus causing life as we know it to stagnate
2017
This is Pat LaFontaine's rink at his place.
in Lloyd Harbor, Long Island, NY. Very Canadian.

Owner of the Copyrights got Greedy. HNIC was like “F-You! Hold My Beer. We’ll have a Contest and Make a Better Anthem!”
thumbs up if you're still watching this in 2011
kalex888 bruh I’m here 9 years later
except its ONLY your game, no one else's. Its about the same as Americans bragging about how great they are in American football.

Because no other country found it interesting enough to adopt.
....because we made it
