Dong-Chouel tries scolding his little brother for not being more cautious at the "ice hockey rink," but Ki-Chouel scolds Dong-Chouel for what he is doing--he tells him that their house is not an ice rink and points out that he could get hurt if he continues sliding around the floor like that. Dong-Chouel explains to Ki-Chouel that he is going to be having a hockey game the next day and that he is practicing now due to being "a little rusty" when it comes to hockey.

That night, while tucking Dong-Chouel into his mattress, Ms. Chouel assures him that his hockey game is all prepped and ready to go for tomorrow. As he is sleeping, Dong-Chouel dreams about Big-Al and hi hockey team winning, and Dong-Chouel's hockey team being thrown with fruit and vegtables,

The next day, Dong-Chouel receives a valentine's letter from Myung-Hee, and shows it to Lee and Big-Al teases him for it, making Dong-Chouel very angry.

On the day of the hockey game, The Mapo Huskees arrive and Big-Al's hockey team, The Busan Nasties arrives to, Coach Gyeong had to take Lee-Choi out of the game and decided to put Dong-Chouel in, which he did not like at all because of the boys being too aggressive, saying that it was like throwing raw meat to a bunch of tigers, and that he didn't remember the final score. What he did know was that the Busan Nasties won and they got to go home and Dong-Chouel mentions that they both looked terrible but the Incheon Chickens only had 5 players so they ran out of steam in the end.

Before the final match against the Busan Nasties, Dong-Chouel realizes that at the end of this round, one team will go home as the worst hockey team and he sees that his family is under a lot of pressure because of it. Before the game started, Coach Gyeong and Sid-Jeon walked through the doors. Sid-Jeon was wearing a boot so he could walk. Ms. Chouel asked him if he would be willing to play and he said yes. Young-Chouel came up with a new strat that everyone understood which was "get the puck to Sid." The game started off with Dong-Chouel's team winning the tip-off. Sae passed to Sid-Jeon who was better on one leg than everyone on Dong-Chouel's team but Sid-Jeon couldn't run so the Mapo Huskees would get an easy basket every time he would make a shot. Just before halftime, Coach Gyeong got the ball and a lot of the kids on the Mapo Huskees were trying to stop him from hitting the puck and he accidentally stepped on their point guard's foot with his boot so he couldn't play for the rest of the game. The head ref said that since the Mapo Huskees didn't have a full team they were gonna have to forfeit. The other coach didn't have a problem with it but Ms. Chouel did and said she wanted to win fair and square so she sent Dong-Chouel over to the other team. As he walked to the other team, Ms. Chouel whispered "You're my secret weapon!" to him. Dong-Chouel was confused but he was willing to help the team win and that included putting on someone else's uniform. Dong-Chouel's new teammates didn't trust Dong-Chouel with the puck so they didn't pass it to him. After a few minutes Dong-Chouel just stood in the corner. Coach Gyeong would hit some crazy hit and someone on the Mapo Huskees would score at the other end and that went on for a while. Then Coach Gyeong missed a three-pointer and the puck came to Dong-Chouel and all of Dong-Chouel's former teammates were all over him. The clock was ticking down, with the Mapo Huskees being 2 points ahead, Dong-Chouel looked at his family and she didn't look like they was rooting for him. That's when Dong-Chouel realized why his family sent him to the other team and that's because he stunk and she knew that he'll blow it for the other team. But by that point Dong-Chouel didn't care so he just hitted the puck and made a backward half-stadium shot.

That was enough to put the Mapo Huskees ahead by three points. The game ended and Dong-Chouel's new team won. Dong-Chouel stated that he finally knew how it felt like to be the hero and why people were always making a big deal about hockey. Dong-Chouel and his new teammates went out to get Tteokbokki and talked about doing this again next year. Dong-Chouel says that it might be fun but sometimes you just need to quit while you're ahead.
