The Helmets and the Gloves have been crosstown rink rivals forever, so when the league decides to merge the two teams to represent their small town at a big invitational hockey tournament in Vancouver, Luke and his friends are furious. To make matters worse, the coach responsible for the merger is Luke's own father!
Nothing is going right for the newly formed Great River Vikings. They seem to be more willing to fight themselves than their opponents. It will take an outsider to teach the locals the meaning of sportsmanship and what it means to be winners.
