The small town of Turnbull may not have the advantages of the big city, but it's the perfect place to grow up for twelve-year-old Jamie. Here, in this nurturing community, his world is a mix of adult affairs and the adventures of youth. And, because of an adventurous nature, he often falls in with a crowd of older boys bent on mischief. Still, nothing can beat the shinny hockey games he and his friends play on Sunday mornings.
When the news arrives that the hometown hockey team, the Turnbull Tigers, will be squaring off against the Edmonton Royals in the playoffs, Jamie is ecstatic. His heroes stand on the brink of a championship! A carnival-like atmosphere invades the town of Turnbull, especially since the first game will be played in the village ice rink. And most important of all, Jamie has the honor of working on the ice, putting him in close contact with both teams.
But the Edmonton Royals look hard to beat. Will the Turnbull Tigers make their hometown proud? Jamie and the rest of the hardworking community are about to find out!
