Gold Star FilmsThe documentary, "The Russian Five," traces the journey of five Russian hockey players who helped transform the Detroit Red Wings into Stanley Cup champions in 1997 and 1998, and another in 2002 with two of them still on the NHL club's roster. But the Detroit Red Wings were desperate for hockey talent. Larionov and Fetisov won their official release in 1989 from the Soviet Red Army. Last fall, Riehl screened the film in front of the Red Wings on the opening night of training camp. "The Russian Five" is also being released on iTunes, which will be available for purchase with this pre-order link.
