In Edmonton at one of the screenings for Making Coco: The Grant Fuhr Story, a 12-year-old hockey fan gave a quick reaction to the documentary, marveling at how a player can endure so many setbacks, yet still create a tremendous career. This stunned Adam Scorgie, a producer on the film.
“I remember thinking, how old is this kid? This is something a 25-year-old would say,” Scorgie said.
How did it the documentary come together? Don Metz, the Making Coco director and the guy who is responsible for making Edmonton hockey a big deal, knew and loved Grant.
