朋友妈妈：年轻的母亲

　　一名过气冰上曲棍球教练，在麻州小镇中领导一队二流球队辗转作战，终于在最后一场比赛中挽回他失落的名声。这是一部拍得相当直率粗暴的男性化运动片，冰上曲棍球的比赛场面经常可见互殴和流血镜头，加上对白的"四字经"不绝于耳，当年首映时也引起了不少争论。曾经合作过金像奖电影《刺激：骗中骗》的导演乔治·莱希尔和明星保罗·纽曼，再一次表现出卖力的成绩。

However, with the support of a shrewd and manipulative lawyer, Timo, the trial takes an unexpected turn that Raka could never have anticipated.
