The Hansons were just interviewed on Fox Sports Across America tonight ... they are still skating.
BTW, that movie was "loosely" based on a hockey club local to where I grew up, the Johnstown Jets. A place more famous for its floods than hockey.

About a professor that invents a tonic (to put on baseballs) that repels wood.

There was one about baseball back in the 40's with William Bendix as an umpire who used eye droops and then was seeing double, so would call twice "Strike-Strike!"
I think they called him Two-call Kelly or something like that.

The actor was right, but the wrong movie.
Rocky V.
Another good one nobody's mentioned yet is The Scout. Albert Brooks and Brendan Fraser star, and a bunch of big-leaguers make cameos, such as Keith Hernandez and Ozzie Smith (This was the time of the strike, so they were available for such a movie.). Very funny movie. Gotta love Albert Brooks's character trying to get hit by a bus in Mexico!

How about :
1. A League of Their Own - "There's no crying in baseball." I would have loved to be the trainer or batboy.
Most auto racing movies are cheesy but liked:
2. Grand Prix
3. Days of Thunder - (Even though most of the movie you wanted to slap Tom Cruise back to reality)
4. Raging Bull

I remember that film!
"Kill the Umpire!" it was called and he was "Two-Call Johnson."
Haven't seen it since I was a kid and I laughed my arse off. Today I'd probably think it was juvenile since there was a lot of slapstick in it. (Like the scene where he has trouble with the chest protector and is bouncing between the bench and his locker like a pinball.)
