Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Hamilton Mustangs, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean's frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Mustangs a significant win. As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane's teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie -- Coach Chadwick's daughter -- who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the Eastern Conference Finals approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean's choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.

Rachel Ho Exclaim! Another commanding performance [for Ashton James] that only hints at what's to come for the Toronto actor. Rated: 6/10 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Jamie Broadnax Black Girl Nerds The choreography is sharp, the camera tight, the hits unflinching. Davis films the game like a war zone, where each shift is a test of endurance and every drop of blood a marker of sacrifice. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
