Keanu Reeves as Heaver from Youngblood against a blue and red background
The Big Picture While hardly the greatest sports movie ever made, Youngblood is beloved in hockey circles for its overly dramatic depiction of Canadian junior hockey. It's a classic tale of good vs. evil, and talent vs. brutality. The film stars Rob Lowe as Dean Youngblood, a sublimely skilled scorer for the Hamilton Mustangs who gets bullied into embracing hockey's dark side, not truly winning until he beats up the opposing team's goon.
Release Date January 31, 1986 Director Peter Markle Cast Keanu Reeves , Rob Lowe , Patrick swayze , Ed Lauter , Fionnula Flanagan Runtime 110minutes Main Genre Sports Writers Peter Markle Budget $8 million Studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer What Is 'Youngblood' About? Of course, Youngblood is Lowe's movie, and he perfectly embodies the "pretty boy" scorer who is uncomfortable with hockey's rough stuff.

In the end, Youngblood wins the championship and the girl, earning the respect of his teammates and opponents alike. Lost in this blind Youngblood idolatry is that a certain Hamilton goaltender standing on his head between the pipes, making one clutch save after another to keep the Mustangs in it.
Reeves played goalie on numerous teams growing up and earned team MVP honors during his one year at De La Salle College, a private preparatory school in Toronto. He briefly considered turning pro before electing to pursue his acting dream instead. One of his former high school coaches even stated that Keanu used to recite Shakespeare while tending goal. So when it came time to audition for Youngblood, Keanu's hockey experience made him a natural choice.
