There's no margin for error, getting drunk or breaking curfew in the high-stakes game stickhandled by the coaches, agents, trainers, owners and shareholders of junior hockey. The film documents the joys and the anguish of young Baie-Comeau players throughout an entire season. The team isn't doing well and the pressure to win is intense. As players autograph their pictures for teenage girls after a game, managers and owners meet behind closed doors to decide their fate.
