Dean Youngblood believes he has what it takes to make it in the no-excuses world of professional ice hockey. Youngblood leaves behind a humdrum life on his father's farm to fulfill his dream, and that of his blind brother, of becoming a star of the skates and stick. As he gets the stuffing kicked out of him in the first games and practices, he learns he will need more than ambition and confidence to prove himself in this cold-hearted arena. After Youngblood beds the coach's daughter and his always-frisky landlord, he finds the courage to persevere. (official distributor synopsis)
