H-E Double Hockey Sticks is a 1999 family comedy film starring Will Friedle and Matthew Lawrence. The film is based (very loosely) on the opera Griffelkinnote  Griffelkin being a young demon who is allowed to spend a day on earth to do as many bad deeds as he can. Griffelkin arrives in a city and causes havoc all over the place. Eventually he runs into a human girl about his age. He impresses her, with some magic. However, the girl runs home to check on her sick mother, leaving Griffelkin to look for her while being chased by the townspeople. Later that evening, Griffelkin finds the girl and her family mourning their mother's death. Moved by the families plight, he secretly uses his powers to bring the mother back to life. His day on earth at an end, Griffelkin is summoned back to hell, where his outraged fellow demons place him on trial for his compassionate conduct. Griffelkin is found guilty; as punishment, he is transformed into a human boy and banished. Griffelkin then returns to the city and again finds the girl and her family, who remember the events only as a bad dream. When the family invites Griffelkin to live with them, he happily accepts. by Lukas Foss. The film's title is a common euphemism for the word hell.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Satan (or his top henchwoman, it's a little ambiguous), in the form of Ms. Beelzebub (Rhea Perlman), sends apprentice demon Griffelkin (Friedle) to Earth's surface to steal the soul of a talented young hockey player named Dave Heinrich (Lawrence), who aspires to be the youngest man to ever win the Stanley Cup.

Artistic License – Sports: Takes creative liberties by featuring two fictitious NHL teams in the Delaware Demons and Annapolis Angels. Still, assuming the movie refers to Annapolis, Maryland, those teams would not face each other for the Stanley Cup under the playoffs rules as they existed in 1999 since they would both be placed in the NHL's Eastern Conference (and most likely the same division) due to their geographic proximity. Also, in the real world, one cannot become the youngest player ever to win the Stanley Cup because the record (held by Larry Hillman of the 1955 Red Wings) is 18 years, 2 months and 9 days and the current rules require a player to be at least 18 years old by September 15 to be eligible for the following season.
