John Rice Will Direct Stan's Cup
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie centers on a broken-down, once-great hockey player who gets a chance to finally fill his legendary father's skates by giving his hometown, known as Hockeytown USA, a pseudo rematch of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" game against a Russian team of ex-Olympians. Rice also wrote the script.
The filmmakers see the movie having a The Full Monty vibe rather than one of a traditional sports movie, focusing on an unusual place and the eccentric people who inhabit it.
Stan's Cup is eyeing a spring shoot in Warroad, Minn., which like Detroit bills itself as Hockeytown USA.

Err
i thought the headline said "satan's cup".
hockey comedies are sometimes decent, save for 'the mighty ducks' which was okay when i was a kid. but we can't forget such great'uns as 'slap shot' though.
