The new sports documentary “Ice Guardians” examines one of the most controversial, provocative positions in the NHL: the enforcer, an unofficial role who deters and respond to violent oppositional play. A punishing profession born out of an instinct to self-police a brutal game, the role now finds itself under harsh scrutiny as the press and TV news cast debate its violent nature. But what purpose does it actually serve? The film profiles many former and active NHL players, including Kelly “Chaser” Chase, Dave “The Hammer” Schultz, Luke Gazdic in order to examine the heart of the enforcer.
