Kings ransom: Explores the changes that occurred in 1988 in the National Hockey League after the game’s biggest star, Wayne Gretzky was traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings. By playing in the United States, Gretzky caused something of a renaissance for the sport there, but in Canada, where hockey is the most popular sport, the trade was met with outrage. The documentary also features glimpses of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars of the late 1980s and early 1990s, including John Candy, Kevin Costner, Timothy Hutton and Tony Danza.

So happy hockey is back! Hopefully the Panthers will pick up right where they left off last season. I just hope the second lockout in recent years hasn’t burned too many bridges with the fans.
As far as the resources go, I highly recommend ESPN’s 30 for 30 on Wayne Gretzky, good stuff!
