“We were able to integrate resources from the archives stills and take all these and create an authentic narrative about the Bears history something that’s never been done comprehensively,” said Hershey Derry Township Historical Society Executive Director Nikki Soliday. “We pulled together resources from local families former players and other historical achieves but also digging back in our resources and working cooperatively with the Bears owner Hershey Entertainment. and pulling all the resources together putting it together in a way they’ve never seen before. A lot of the footage has never been utilized in this capacity.”

“One of the neatest things about the film is meeting so many people who have been part of Hershey Hockey history. People have been so giving with their resources,” said Dr. Bob Goodman. who help lead the project. “The Mathers family gave some home video of Frank and the family that we could implement into the story. And then go around and interview many of the people that have been such a part of the Bears like Bruce Boudreau wanted to be a part of it and now he’s head coach at Minnesota. We were able to go to Canada and interview Don Cherry who is so well known for Hockey Night in Canada and played for the Bears in the late ’50s. And Mike Nykoluk one of the greatest Hershey Bears of all time. He’s now in Florida. He was not only happy to do the interview but he’s also driving up for the event on December 7.”
