Take The Ice
November 07, 2015 by Rachel Koteen

Eighty-eight women taking a shot at making history.

Take the Ice goes behind the scenes of the first women's hockey league that pays its players a salary. The highs and lows — winning streaks, losing streaks, injuries, disagreements, and the strong bonds that form between teammates who are balancing the pressures of life outside the rink — make up the backbone of this feature documentary about passion for hockey, the drive to win, and the place of women’s sports in our society. 

Take the Ice premiered in November 2022 at the Queens World Film Festival where it was nominated for Best Documentary Feature, and director, Rachel Koteen, won the Filmmaker of the Year award. It will be released by Freestyle. Digital Media in the spring of 2023.
