Synopsis

Seven-year-old Pascale is sick of her family’s obsession with Canada’s obsession - Hockey. Her bags are packed and she is planning to run away and find people she believes will support HER dream of being a singer. When the challenges of: a) being a 7-year-old, and b) being stuck in an 800-person town during a Canadian prairie winter hinder her escape, she learns that the family she was born into is in fact perfect for her. Finding herself literally centre ice, Pascale discovers we all have an important place in Canada’s game.
