It's a brand new game with brand new rules.
Sean Linden (Stephen Baldwin) is the long-suffering captain and coach of the Charlestown Chiefs. With a roster of one-time stars, would-be hotshots and the comically uncontrollable Hanson Brothers, the Chiefs are a team whose glory days are a distant memory. But the team's new millionaire owner (Gary Busey) has a new game plan: to turn the Chiefs into the underdog losers in a bogus made-for-TV hockey league! And to add insult to injury--the new coach is a woman! Now, it's going to take a stone-cold miracle--and some high-sticking action from Sean Linden and the Hanson Brothers--to show the world they've got what it takes to win back their passion for the game!
Editor's Note
This sequel to the 1977 classic finds Stephen Baldwin in the original's Paul Newman role, as Sean Linden, the veteran player/coach of the lowly Charlestown Chiefs, a minor league hockey team on the verge of extinction. However, when the team is sold to a new owner, Sean and the players are optimistic until they find that their role in the new league is to play the Washington Generals to another team's, the IceBreakers, Globetrotters. To add to their humiliation, the Chiefs are saddled with a female coach (Steen), pushing the team far past their breaking point. To revive the team's old spirit, the Hanson brothers (played by the same actors from the original) are brought back to fire up the team and put the hurt on the IceBreakers.
