Don Cherry 17

About This Movie

So, Don Cherry 17, huh? It’s a wild ride through the history of hockey, really. This film captures the essence of the sport through Cherry's lens, blending comedy with some seriously nostalgic highlights. You get the best goals and those hilarious bloopers that never get old. The pacing is quite brisk, keeping the energy up as it hops from decade to decade. Cherry's commentary is, as you’d expect, both entertaining and a bit controversial, which gives it this unique flavor. It's kind of like sitting down with an old buddy who just loves to talk hockey and share his opinions - you get the stats but also the stories that make the game come alive.

This film was released on DVD back in 2005 and hasn't seen much attention since, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. Its combination of comedy and historical commentary makes it distinctive, and while it might not be at the top of every collector's list, it definitely has its niche audience. If you’re into hockey history or Cherry’s unabashed opinions, this one might be worth keeping an eye out for.
