Storyline

In the town of Gibson's, Dave MacGonigal suggests an old timer celebrity charity hockey game where the gangs plays against the Pro-Stars and auction. Unfortunately, Dave discovers too late he has been cheated by two amateur con artists with fake auction items and nobody players. However, Dave retaliates a wager with the con artists with his secret weapon being the goalie position he plays. In reality, he is being impersonated by Manon Rheaume, the first female NHL player who happens to be living in the area and agrees to be his ringer. Whether it will be enough is another matter. Meanwhile, during this risky venture, Dave's daughter is tempted with a job opportunity with an old flame that would mean leaving Gibson's and her father for good.
