Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Jeff McHenry (Zachery Ty Bryan), the arrogant star player of his prep-school hockey team, thinks he's a shoe-in to continue his hockey career at Harvard. But when his dad Jack (Eric Pierpont) declares bankruptcy, Jeff is forced to drop out of St. Crispin's Preparatory and enroll at lowly Eastside High, where Monica (Roma Downey) is temporary hockey coach. At first angrily resistant at the notion of joining the cellar-dwelling Eastside team, Jeff is inspired by the words of his former prep-school English teacher Andrew (John Dye), who has been using Shakespeare's "Henry V" as an object lesson in power through humility. Ultimately and ironically, Jeff finds himself leading the Eastside hockey team against St. Crispin's in hopes of landing an athletic scholarship--but he still has a few important life lessons ahead of him!
