ABOUT THE PLAY
Street hockey buddies gather for a game. It's 1967 - the Centennial, the last year of the NHL’s original six and the “summer of love.” This quintessentially Canadian comedy follows the five friends over a thirty year period against the backdrop of a changing country, through evolving identities, persistent friendships, and a boundless love of the game.
