MR. GOALIE

Directed by Ryan McInerney | 2025 | 88 min | USA

GOALIE is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the extraordinary life and career of NHL Hall of Fame goaltender, and proud Stony Plain resident, Glenn Hall. Widely regarded as one of the greatest ever to play the position, Hall's story unfolds from his humble beginnings on the Canadian Prairies to his rise as a legendary netminder known for his consistency, innovation, and resilience. 

Through rare archival footage, candid interviews, and first-hand accounts from coaches, teammates, rivals, historians, and family, the film explores Hall's pioneering role in shaping modern goaltending with the invention of the butterfly style. In a time when goaltenders did not wear face masks, his unbeaten streak of 552 consecutive games is a testament to the "Greatest Feat in Sports." More than a sports story, MR. GOALIE is a portrait of determination, endurance, and the quiet strength that defined a hockey icon.
