Hockeyland a 2022 American documentary film directed by Tommy Haines. Minnesota is the heartland of US hockey, creating more skaters—on the local rinks and in the NHL—than any other state. Here, the senior boys of rival towns—one an emerging dynasty, the other with a fabled past—face down uncertain futures as they skate for a last chance to etch their names into local lore. Where Texas football has Friday Night Lights, Minnesota high school has Hockeyland.

The film opened theatrically as the #1 documentary in the country for the week of September 9 and was a 2022 Critics Choice nominee for "Best Sports Documentary".

MSP Magazine writer Steve Marsh says "Hockeyland transcends its genre: this is more than a hockey movie, this is drama."

ESPNs Greg Wyshinski describes the film as "a fascinating look at Minnesota high school hockey.
