A Quebec-made comedy franchise which is by any measure (profit, box office or attendance) is the most successful Quebec made film series of all time, and one of the most successful Canadian-made film series of all time.
Every Monday evening, at the arena, eleven men get together to lovingly put on the jersey of the Boys, the hockey team of a "garage" league to which they belong. As Stan, their revered trainer, would affectionately say, they have the "puck" tattooed on their hearts. It doesn't matter if they are lawyers, policemen, mechanics or unemployed, as soon as they enter the locker room, everyone forgets their age, their work and their problems.
Our Boys are back a year after their last adventures. This time around, the players of Quebec's most popular garage league travel to Chamonix, France, to take part in an international amateur hockey tournament.
Three years have passed. The Boys are still a great hockey team in a garage league. Their coach Stan, in France for three years, returns from his trip to the delight of his troops. However, a wealthy businessman appears in the background and the players feel drawn to the lure of profit until the point where the Boys will face... the Boys.
After four years of absence, the Boys are back on the ice! This time, the stake of the Canadian amateur tournament in which they participate is a game against the Legends of the National Hockey League.
Christmas 1967, when hockey was played on outdoor rinks. The Boys form the parish's second team and are guaranteed participation in the Holiday Tournament as they are the hosts. Despite limited talent, they dream of victory. Off the ice, they will have to deal with all kinds of moments that one experiences at that age; some funny and some difficult. Together, however, they will face them. Together, they will try to grow, because this is how they have chosen to live: Together.
