This film covers the UVM men's hockey program from its beginnings in 1963 as a Division II team through to its current era as an NCAA Division I contender. This era has produced some celebrated talent, including players who went on to successful National Hockey League careers. Players from across the years include John LeClair '91, Martin St. Louis '97, Eric Perrin '97, Tim Thomas '97 and Patrick Sharp '02. Along with profiling these and other standouts from throughout the program's history, "Brothers of The Gut" also chronicles the team's highs and lows, including two dramatic appearances in the NCAA Frozen Four. The film is enhanced with a range of archival material to complement the emotional, inspiring and sometimes amusing stories – highlighting the impact that UVM hockey has had on players and coaches, and on the community that has ardently supported the team for half a century, continuing to sell out "The Gut" – nickname of UVM's Gutterson Fieldhouse, home ice for the Catamounts.

The Vermont International Film Festival is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the community and bring the world to Vermont through film.
Launched in 2014 by a group of filmmakers, archivists and concerned members of the public who wished to ensure the survival of artists’ films in Vermont, VAMP officially became a program of VTIFF in May 2015. The VAMP committee has broadened the initial concept to include all types of films and videos made by VT filmmakers or shot in Vermont.
