Chicks with Sticks

Chicks with Sticks (2005)

The story takes the battle of the sexes into the hockey arena, as Paula Taymore – who almost once made the Olympic team – finds herself drawn into a challenge match against an irritating local men's squad. Fresh from a painful divorce, and doubting herself, Paula must make a winner out of an explosive, irreverent crew of women hockey players who flock to her town, Red Deer Alberta, to assemble the team.

Production

With a budget of $3.5 million, the film was produced by Nancy Laing of Alberta-based Earth to Sky Pictures and Debbie Nightingale of the Toronto-based Nightingale Company, with co-producer Christina Willings.

Directed by Kari Skogland, the movie was filmed in November and December 2003, in Okotoks, outside of Calgary, Alberta. Some filming was done at the Sarcee Seven Chiefs Sportsplex on the Tsuu T'ina Nation west of Calgary. The hockey scenes were shot late at night, which was the only time an arena was available during peak hockey season.

Eight stunt performers were recruited from Calgary's Mount Royal College Cougars women's ice hockey team, which had won the previous year's provincial college conference. Other female hockey players were recruited from Calgary's Olympic Oval Extreme team and from Edmonton.

The picture was edited by Jim Munro and has a running time of 86 minutes.
