The controversy stemmed from the proposed appearance of the entire Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey team in segments of the film.
Nay-sayers felt having three central gay characters (two adults, one child) would blemmish the image of the team if they participated in the film. The Team-players didn't feel that way and were backing the film 100%. The Corporate Offices of the NHL weighed in, and it it were not for the objections from the Toronto Team about the meddling, the Corporate Officials would not have sanctioned use of the Trademarks and Logos.
In the end the film got made, it did well at the box office, and nobody raised an eyebrow at all.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to watch a film that represents good, wholesome, family entertainment.
