Net Worth (1995 film)

Net Worth is a 1995 television film about the labor dispute between the National Hockey League (NHL) and the NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) in the early 1990s. The film focuses primarily on the efforts of Bob Goodenow, then executive director of the NHLPA, to unionize the players and fight for their rights against the league owners, particularly then-NHL President John Ziegler.

The film stars Aidan Devine as Bob Goodenow and Kevin Conway as John Ziegler. It portrays the events leading up to and during the 1992 NHL strike, which resulted in the first collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and its players. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by Goodenow in uniting players from different backgrounds and nationalities, as well as the strategies employed by both sides in the negotiation process.

Net Worth is based on the book of the same name by David Cruise and Alison Griffiths. The film attempts to provide a balanced perspective on the conflict, showing the viewpoints of both the players and the owners. It explores themes of labor rights, corporate power, and the economics of professional sports.
