Score: A Hockey Musical is a 2010 Canadian coming-of-age musical comedy film written and directed by Michael McGowan starring Noah Reid, Allie MacDonald, Olivia Newton-John, Marc Jordan and Nelly Furtado. The story follows a sheltered, pacifistic teenager who becomes a star player in a violent junior ice hockey league.

The film opened five international film festivals in September 2010 leading up to the 2010–11 NHL season. It was generally seen as a crowd-pleaser and a campy celebration of Canadiana, but some critics faulted the populist effort as having little or no cinematic merit. It was nominated for two Directors Guild of Canada Awards and an ACTRA Award.
