Una squadra di hockey su ghiaccio si trova ultima in classifica e sul punto di essere liquidata. Ma il suo allenatore e giocatore Reggie si fa in quattro per salvarla. Monta colpi giornalistici con i cronisti, solleva l'interesse di grossi industriali, sul campo chiede (e ottiene) dalla compagine un'aggressività verbale e fisica senza limiti. La squadra risale posizioni e vince il campionato. Ma sarà liquidata lo stesso.
