Synopsis

Korman and hockey - two of Canada's favourites make for one hilarious comedy series!

When school sportswriter "Chipmunk" Adelman finds out that Martians - the kids from his hometown Mars - will play on the debut team in the Waterloo Slapshot League, he knows he's got a scoop hot enough for Sports Illustrated. But the team is in for a big surprise when they realize that they stink! They've got a defenseman who only skates backward, a star player who wants to be on another team, and a coach who calls everything a "whatchamacallit." They'd better get their act together soon or they're sure to be kicked out of the league.
