This obsession took him around the world in search of hockey in the most unlikely places. What he discovered was that the soul of the sport is alive in even the most remote and unexpected places. The documentary features hockey in the Arabian desert, where the rink was created because of a challenge to bring snow to the desert. Bidini then travels to Transilvania, where a hockey rivalry has more to do with a thousand year struggle for independence than it does with the sport. Finally, he visits Mongolia, where the players battle on outdoor rinks in negative thirty-five degree weather simply because they love the game. In the end, Bidini is able to reafirm his belief that hockey is the best game on earth. <57mn 57s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
