The ice... The fire... The fight... To be the best. (taglines)

Dean Youngblood

 * Where else could I get beaten up every day, treated like shit by prima donna Canadians and get my nuts shaved?

Jessie Chadwick

 * I think all hockey players should know how to read and write.

Derek Sutton

 * To the game and getting out of this hick town! Thank God there is a sport for middle-sized white boys.
 * The only thing better than a glass of beer, is tea with Miss McGill!
 * Hey, go hump your Saint Bernard, scum-nuts.
 * I don't give a shit where I play as long as I go number one in the draft and I sign the biggest contract I can. I've been busting my ass in this league for four years, and I'm gonna get what's coming to me.

Murray Chadwick

 * All right, one period left. One period away from winning it all or losing to these miserable hackers with their shit-eating grins and their Saturday night wrestling tactics. One period away from remembering something for the rest of your life or something you wanna forget.

Carl Racki

 * [to Youngblood] Wanna go, pretty boy?

Other

 * Kelly Youngblood: [walks into barn and sees Dean standing in front of a punching bag] Just hit it, pillowhands. Don't worry, it's not gonna hit you back.
 * Blane Youngblood: You can learn to punch in the barn, but you gotta learn to survive on the ice.

Dialogue

 * Kelly Youngblood: Don't take any shit from them Canucks. To them, you're just another wetback, crossing the border to play their game.
 * Dean Youngblood: They'll never catch me!
 * Kelly Youngblood: Oh, they'll catch you.


 * Murray Chadwick: Where'd you get these guys from, Ray? Mexico?
 * Ray: We're only looking for one player.
 * Murray Chadwick: Like that sorry son of a bitch who just tripped over the blueline?


 * Duane Hewitt: Fast legs, slow fists.
 * Dean Youngblood: [about Racki] The guy suckered me.
 * Duane Hewitt: Oh, poor baby. Hey, maybe next time we can send you a telegram: get ready for the right hook.


 * Derek Sutton: Stay on sides, Youngblood.
 * Dean Youngblood: Pass the puck!
 * Derek Sutton: Don't tell me when to pass the puck.
 * Dean Youngblood: You want me to slow down for ya?
