Plot
editJaneau and his father move out at Montreal to restart their lives following the death of his mother. Despite his high skills at hockey, Janeau barely practices anymore to grieve. While practicing, neighbor Julie notices his skills, and the two become friends. Julie persuades Janeau to join her hockey team to ascens to the tournament. However, Janeau's skills irritates team member Joey, the popular captain under pressure by his father.
While practicing, Joey arrogantely insults Janeau's mother, causing the two to fight. During a game, Joey reveals to the opposite team Janeau's injury. Julie is knocked out and suffers a concussion, causing Janeau to fight enough to be eliminated. Joey steals the puck to a comrade and win the game. Despite apologizing, Joey is exposed by Janeau from the injury's exposure, leading to Joey being outcast.
On their ways to the finals, Janeau and Joey make amends. Julie fakes her medical results to assist at the finals, but is too scared to play. Janeau and Joey help each other and win the tournament, with Janeau making amends with his father and accepting his mother's passing, and celebrates with his team.
