by Jean Mills (Author)
Jonah knows the culture in the hockey dressing room needs to change.
Play fights after practice are one thing, but when Jonah sees a player get seriously hurt and accidentally films the fight, he's put in a tough position. While he's thinking about how to handle it, his sister finds the video on his phone and sends it to Drake, the team's most volatile player, and the one who enjoys the locker room fights the most. Now Jonah is panicking. What happens if the coach or the players' parents see the video and recognize anyone? Will it jeopardize the team's participation in a big inter-city tournament coming up next month? Plus, Drake is furious and is threatening to punish the person who filmed the fight. As the team continues to practice and play, everyone feels the tension, on and off the ice.
