Looks like even Hockey is making a buzz in Hollywood as the newest hockey movie, featuring LA Stars defender Jiggly Gumballs has just premiered. And so far, it's been quite a success. The initial reception has been good as the movie Goon Buddies is all about best friends Luke Lancer and Howard Binks, who is played by Gumballs. The story follows the pair as they go from a beer league bruisers to Major League stars as their fast, hard-checking, bone crushing style of play gets them recruited by the California Streakers. A charming wacky movie full of hijinks on and off the ice. Critics have commended Gumballs for his acting. It definitely won't win any awards, however his performance as Howard Binks was pretty much the perfect role for the defender.

 

After the premiere, which Gumballs attended, he was interviewed about his experiences with production:

 

"Oh it was a blast. Working with Joshua Jackson (who played his partner Luke Lancer) was a great experience, heck we're actually quite close as of late. He'd call me after my games and tell me how bad I played. As for the production itself. I actually had the opportunity to be a part of the creative process. A couple of my suggestions were actually implemented in the film and looks like the audience enjoyed it. I'm honestly glad Disney chose to make something original for once and this will surely help with growing the sport and introducing hockey to kids all over the world."

 

Gumballs was then asked about any future work in terms of sequels, especially he still has 2 more films in his contract:

 

"I'm not gonna give you a hint of what's coming next. I'll let those nosy bastards in the paparazzi  leak it. Though things will hopefully be a lot better looking forward."

Side note: I love how a new Mighty Ducks trailer came out recently just as I was going to make this article.
