And though it looks like a normal town, there’s something different about it –– no one in this far away town has ever heard of hockey! As the world’s biggest hockey fan, Cam sets out on an adventure to bring her love of the game to everyone she meets. Along the way, we learn that being a great player has a lot to do with who you are as a person. Each new teammate exhibits extraordinary qualities from the NHL’s Declaration of Principles. Thanks to Cam, who recognizes these qualities and knows what it takes to be a truly great player, we discover how hockey can bring a diverse group of people together, how there’s a place for everyone in the game, and how, with a little hard work and magic, it can even bring a whole town to life through ACCEPTANCE.
