The Dozen (2014)
The Dozen (2014)- Documentary | Short | Biography | Sport
'The Dozen' is a 29-minute film documenting the The Dirty Dozen, a legendary Thunder Bay boot hockey team. Hockey in Northern Ontario is a religion - there are over 50 active NHL players to come out of Thunder Bay alone. Thunder Bay IS hockey town. The film examines hockey through the scope of a fringe within the culture. The Dozen dominated the fringe sport through the '80s and '90s, with an unheard of 10-year winning streak, before age caught up with them. Comprised of a group of mill workers, mechanics and labourers, these champions were known for two things - partying and winning. The film is a celebration of that Northern Ontario hard-living lifestyle, the people who survived it and lived to tell the tale.
