Score: A Hockey Musical is a 2010 Canadian musical film, written and directed by Michael McGowan. Seventeen-year old Farley Gordon has led a sheltered life, home-schooled and isolated by his parents. His closest friend is Eve, their next door neighbour. When his skill at hockey is realised, Farley is signed to a major hockey league and achieves instant fame and success. But pressure from his coach and teammates and a changing relationship with Eve begin to create intense strain in Farley's life. The soundtrack to Score: A Hockey Musical contains 21 songs: Peter Howell of the Toronto Star gave... it two and-a-half stars out of four saying: "Score isn’t deep and there’s no danger of it becoming a global phenomenon. But it’s as true a crowd-pleaser, one that doesn't require season tickets to the Maple Leafs to appreciate." Stephen Cole of the Globe and Mail gave it three stars out of four, praising McGowan's direction of the film's genre saying: "McGowan's wondrous achievement here is making a discarded genre seem like ready-made fun.
