The Alden Panthers have never had a very good hockey team-until Derrick Larson moves to town. Derrick's from Minnesota. He's a powerhouse on skates and an expert shooter. Unfortunately the rest of the seventh-grade team can't keep up, and Alden starts off to a losing season. Maybe Derrick should move up to the eighth-grade team, where he could really use his talents. But would the older guys be willing to play with a "kid"?
