description: Three periods, two referees, one figure skater…After a rough first billeting experience, best friends Nick and Griff have finally rigged it up to live on their own and enjoy playing hockey together.But when Nick taunts the other team and ropes Griff into yet another fight, their Coach gives them a final ultimatum: Either learn to respect the game by becoming referees at the rink… or get kicked off the team…That’s how they find themselves reffing a squirt game on a Friday night at the Ice League._____Savannah Callahan’s little brother, Duke, is her best friend. It’s the two of them against the world.That’s why she takes her job as an older sister seriously and tries to help him with his hockey skills… and with his game temperament. The parents of Duke’s teammates unfortunately call him “a little ball of hate” because he loses his temper and racks up so many penalty minutes…During Duke’s Friday night game, he gets a breakaway and is making his way to the net when a kid trips him to send him flying toward the goalie on his stomach. Savannah can’t blame him for fighting this time… and she watches through her hands as Duke lands a couple punches on the other kid.When the refs finally separate the kids, Duke is being dragged by his jersey to the penalty box instead of being given a penalty shot, which is definitely unfair.Savannah immediately stands up to yell at the refs, but they just shake their heads and look back at her with smirks…She tries to watch the rest of the game in peace… but she can’t help but notice that the refs keep looking her way…At first she thinks maybe they were just checking to see if the net in front of her is off…But nope.As the play comes down to her end of the ice, she notices blue eyes looking directly at her…
