Description

Owen and Holly are having a perfect day on frozen Humboldt Lake passing the puck around with their father — until Holly shoots the puck past Owen and it falls down an ice-fishing hole.

Accepting defeat, they think the game is over, until their father imparts some wisdom and solves their dilemma by teaching them an ageold technique of hockey lovers from the past.
