== Plot ==
Cathy Yarrow arrives in Parry Sound, Ontario with her mother and sister from Toronto following the separation of her parents. As the town has no team for girls, she attends tryouts for the local boys' hockey team, and wins a spot as one of the team's goaltenders. Even after she plays well in the first couple of games, the team sponsor indicates displeasure at having a female on the team, and threatens to withdraw his sponsorship. The young players must then decide whether to continue with or without Cathy.
== Restoration ==
In an unusual step for a 1980s made-for-television movie, the film was given a 4K resolution restoration in 2016 and screened theatrically in Toronto and Vancouver.
