Seeking:


[WINNIE] Female, Indigenous. 9-12 years old, the bright and feisty daughter of Ms. McGill. She is a big hockey fan who quickly develops a crush on Dean when he comes to billet at her home. ACTOR

*ICE-SKATING SKILLS and HOCKEY SKILLS ARE A BONUS- for this role talent DO NOT need to be able to skate or play hockey


[YOUNG DEAN YOUNGBLOOD] Male, Black, 9-12 (if talent are 12 they must look younger). Already skilled beyond the older boys, his gifts and athleticism stand out – but when a sucker bullies him into a fight, his dad rags on him for being ‘soft.’ His mom reminds him it’s okay to have emotions and that fighting isn’t always the answer; but soon she suffers an untimely sudden death…PRINCIPAL.

*TALENT MUST BE GOOD AT ICE-SKATING and PLAYING HOCKEY


[YOUNG KELLY YOUNGBLOOD] Male, Black. 14 years old (seeking talent 13-16 to look 14). Seen in flashback, Kelly is Dean’s older brother, who loves his more-emotional younger brother but isn’t quite prepared to stand up to their father on his behalf…ACTOR.

*TALENT MUST BE GOOD AT ICE SKATING and PLAYING HOCKEY


[JASON] Male, American. Open Ethnicity. 13-16, is a stocky young hockey player twice the size of 9-year-old Youngblood. He picks a fight when Youngblood makes him look bad on the ice…ACTOR/STUNT.

*TALENT MUST BE GOOD AT ICE SKATING and PLAYING HOCKEY


Storyline: Dean Youngblood was raised by his father, Blane, on a diet of toughness and hockey. When Dean is invited to join the Barrie Colts, he travels to Canada from Detroit where his skill commands respect and his arrogance earns him fast enemies. Coach Chadwick, resentful of being saddled with such a toxic player, keeps Dean benched game after game. Dean’s frustration builds, culminating in a violent outburst involving rival goon Carl Racki that costs the Bulldogs a significant win. As Team Captain Sutton takes him under his wing, Dean begins to buck Blane’s teachings and his growing maturity spurs a relationship with Jessie – Coach Chadwick’s daughter – who gives Dean a run for his money on and off the ice. His newfound resolve draws the ire of Racki, who provokes Dean during a game by attacking and seriously injuring Sutton. As the final game of the Eastern Final approaches, so does his showdown with Racki and Dean’s choice as to what kind of man he wants to be.
