If you’re a typical sports fan like all of us at True North Sports Camps, there’s nothing better than a quality sports movie. Whether you need to get pumped up for a big game, or it’s a rainy day and baseball is cancelled, sports movies have a way of inspiring you like only Hollywood can. The dramatic plots, staged gameplay, and intense music combines together to tell amazing tales, often based on an unimaginable true story. From baseball to boxing, and football to hockey, every sport has its own cinematic classics: Field of Dreams, Rocky, Rudy, Mighty Ducks.
