Of all the sports I know nothing about, hockey would be the foremost. Or least most.

But I still got behind and enjoyed today's film

Red Army (2014)

which is about the best hockey team in Russia and the world in its time.

The men who were there (and one or two wives) tell their story along with many clips of the action.

What sets it off is the way the team was a propaganda force for the old Soviet regime and, in the period covered here, became "free" in the sense that the old Union dissolved with perestroika.

But it is really a human interest film, people. Which is the best kind.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5. I enjoyed it and once is enough for me.
