Ukrainian filmmaker Volodymyr Mula (C) directs a scene from his “Uke” documentary in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba in Canada in January 2020. The children in the shot wear jerseys with the names of North America’s National Hockey League players of Ukrainian descent. These players are the protagonists of the documentary.

Wayne Gretzky is regarded as the greatest hockey player of all time, but many don’t know that he has Ukrainian origins. Even Ukrainians themselves.

Kyiv-based filmmaker Volodymyr Mula set out to change that with his “Uke: The Untold Story of Hockey Legends” documentary. It chronicles the contribution of hockey players with Ukrainian heritage to North America’s National Hockey League, which celebrated its 103rd anniversary on Nov. 26.
