... that ice hockey film Chicks with Sticks received its title and funding following the success of Men with Brooms? Source: "MacGregorFreezer" The Globe and Mail or ProQuest 383963358 "Nothing much happened to Truckey's pitch until early 2002, when, in quick succession, a very unlikely film about curling -- Men with Brooms -- was a minor Canadian hit and then, of course, the Canadian women won the gold medal at Salt Lake City. Suddenly there was renewed interest and new funding [...] with a new title"
- ALT1: ... that Paul Tolton shot the action sequences for Chicks with Sticks while maneuvering on ice skates? Source: "PlaybackNightingale" Playback magazine "DOP Paul Tolton's ability to skate and shoot at the same time made for some 'amazing' hockey footage, says Nightingale. 'I can't describe how he did it, skating for 12 hours a day – he was bobbing and weaving and crouching. He did an incredible job,' she says."

New article that was moved to mainspace on 8 December 2021‎‎‎‎‎ is 6,770 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected and duplication detector of online sources[1][2][3][4][5] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 112 characters long (ALT1 is 98); both are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 6 (verifying the main hook) and 10 (verifying ALT1) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:57, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
