Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around universal themes of an underdog team's journey and a coach's redemption, which are largely apolitical. While it critiques elitism, the solution emphasizes individual responsibility, hard work, and collective effort within an existing competitive framework, leading to a neutral rating.
The film includes visible diversity among the children's hockey team, featuring characters from different racial backgrounds and genders. The central narrative, however, focuses on a traditional underdog story and the redemption of its white male protagonist, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
