Netflix has officially dropped the curtain on its newest sports documentary, “The Underdog”, a gripping and emotional look at the careers and legacies of two of the Montreal Canadiens’ most iconic players — Patrick Roy and Larry Robinson. The documentary is slated for global release on Friday, May 10, 2025, and has already stirred excitement among hockey fans and sports history enthusiasts alike.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sophie Tremblay, “The Underdog” delves deep into the lives of Roy and Robinson, exploring not just their triumphs on the ice but also their personal struggles, leadership, and impact on the game of hockey. Through rare archival footage, exclusive interviews with former teammates, family, and analysts, and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes moments, the film promises to shed new light on what made these two athletes true legends of the sport.
Patrick Roy, known for his fiery competitiveness and unmatched goaltending prowess, and Larry Robinson, the towering defenseman with calm leadership and six Stanley Cup rings with Montreal, represent two very different paths to greatness — and together, their stories reflect the heart and soul of one of the NHL’s most storied franchises.
In a press release, Netflix described the documentary as “a powerful tribute to resilience, loyalty, and the unbreakable spirit of underdogs who became champions.”
With anticipation building across Canada and beyond, “The Underdog” is expected to join the ranks of Netflix’s top-tier sports documentaries and spark renewed interest in the history and culture of the Montreal Canadiens.
Fans can begin streaming the documentary exclusively on Netflix starting May 10, 2025.
