Net Worth
Based on a true story, Net Worth blows the lid off the image of the "golden era" of the National Hockey League, to reveal the bloody battles and hard knocks dealt the players off the ice.Ted Lindsay, Detroit Red Wings captain and nine time National Hockey League All-Star put up the fight of his life after being refused a request for a modest raise and seeing a former teammate reduced to living in his car. Lindsay headed a small group of men who risked their careers to take on the czars of the NHL by organizing the first players' association. Trying his best to keep up his own morale in the face of coercion and threats from those who sought to crush him, he valiantly fought for his career and that of his teammates.It's the story of ruthless men who would destroy careers in order to hide the millions of dollars they were making off the sweat and toil of others and, more than anything else, taking advantage of the players love of the game.In this larger-than-life David vs. Goliath conflict, Lindsay takes on the powerbrokers of the NHL - Jack Adams, Detroit Red Wings General Manager Conn Smythe, Maple Leafs' owner, Clarence Campbell, league president and Jimmy Norris, owner of the Chicago Blackhawks and the man who controlled the league - forever changing the face of Canada's national sport.Special Features:Exclusive Interview with Ted LindsayTed Lindsay BioAl Waxman BioAdian Devine Bio
