He shoots, he sings! Michael McGowan’s Score! A Hockey Musical is a playful and joyously entertaining charmer of a film. Uniting Canada’s national obsession with the overnight success stories of the classic Hollywood musicals, this is Hockey Night in Busby Berkeley Land. Boasting young love, on-ice drama and cameos that range from Olivia Newton-John to Nelly Furtado to some surprises from Canadian icons, McGowan’s latest is a playful delight.
Tender-hearted Farley (Noah Reid) lives a carefree but sheltered life. Homeschooled by his organic-loving, New Age parents (Newton-John and Marc Jordan), his greatest pleasures are palling around with his lifelong best friend Eve (Allie MacDonald) and playing endless rounds of outdoor hockey with the local rink rats. When the eccentric owner of a junior league hockey team (Stephen McHattie) sees Farley for the talent that he is, Farley quickly takes the league by storm, turning his once idyllic life upside down.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
