Danny and his friends, Anita, Petou and Marcel, are typical prairie youngsters -- hockey mad. The four are always playing road hockey or involved in a game of shinny on the community rink. One day a town team, the Wolves, is formed. The friends are overjoyed but, when the time comes to choose the team, only Marcel is picked. The other three friends are not chosen; Anita is a girl, Petou is too small and Danny cannot skate. It's the biggest disappointment of Danny's life.But, near the end of the season, the regular goalie is injured and Danny is asked to replace him. If the Wolves win the game, they will make the play-offs! This is Danny's chance to prove that, even though he can't wear a pair of skates, he can still play the game.
