The 8 best hockey movies to stream

Hockey isn't like basketball, baseball, and football in that it attracts millions of athletes in all parts of the world. Due to the need for cold weather to play outside on the ice and the need for lots of equipment, ice hockey is usually most popular in regions where these stars align, such as in the American Northwest and throughout Canada and Russia.

You don't need to like playing the sport yourself though to pop in a hockey flick and enjoy the spiritual and emotional triumphs that accompany hockey's culture. The best hockey movies bring up questions of patriotism, family, racism, political allegiances, and so much more. Hockey's history is filled with anger, fighting, and even tears of joy. These films will make you think about teamwork and camaraderie in a new light, whether you stream them on Netflix or buy a DVD on Amazon.

The best La Aurora cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024

Sharing my top picks for La Aurora cigars that you can try yourself, right now.

I wanted to include the Hors D'Age on the list because it truly is a fantastic cigar, however, I've only been able to try it once. If I get another chance I'll definitely be adding it here.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, not much has been around as long as some cigar companies. La Aurora is the perfect example. As a company and a family company no less, it's been hand-making cigars since 1903. That's incredible. And after over 120 years of dedication to the craft you better believe they have some absolute bangers out there. From the Hors D'Age to the 120th Anniversary and the León Jimenes Prestige, let's just say there's a lot to talk about -- and a lot of La Aurora cigars to try.

Now, I'll have to admit, that even though I recently made a trip to La Aurora in the Dominican Republic, I wasn't able to try every single cigar the company makes. Instead, here are the best La Aurora cigars I've tried and tested this year. Let's cut off the cap and light up, shall we?
