In a move sure to thrill hockey fans and sports-documentary lovers alike, Netflix has officially announced the release date for “The UnderDog,” a brand-new documentary chronicling the turbulent, triumphant, and controversial career of legendary NHL coach Mike Keenan. The film is set to premiere worldwide on August 15.

Best known for his fiery, no-nonsense style, Keenan — nicknamed “Iron Mike” — led the New York Rangers to their unforgettable 1994 Stanley Cup run, snapping a 54-year championship drought and cementing his place in hockey lore. The documentary promises to delve deep into his time with the Rangers, as well as his often contentious relationships with players, his relentless drive to win, and the polarizing leadership that made him one of hockey’s most talked-about coaches.

> “He pushed us harder than anyone, but he delivered what no one else could,” one former player says in the trailer.

Produced by award-winning sports-filmmaker crew Playmaker Studios, The UnderDog combines never-before-seen locker room footage, intimate interviews with Rangers legends, and raw behind-the-scenes stories from Keenan himself.

Despite the buzz, early reactions have been mixed. While fans of NHL history are counting down the days, critics point out that Keenan’s hard-edged style still divides opinion — some calling him a genius motivator, others branding him a career disruptor.

As Netflix rolls out the official marketing campaign, they promise an unflinching look at a man who changed hockey forever — and never apologized for it.

📌 Mark your calendars: “The UnderDog” premieres August 15 on Netflix.
