A talented teenage figure skater, Katelin Kingsford, dreams of being a champion when she is discovered by a famous Russian skating coach, Natasha Goberman. She does not have enough money to train with this famous coach who is associated with a private boarding school, but she has the opportunity to get a hockey scholarship so she can figure skate. She accepts the scholarship and learns to play hockey. She changes in the process. She learns about teamwork and making friends by playing hockey.

Differences in film

• The minimum age to appear in the World Championships is 16. Several points in the plot involve characters participating in events they would actually have been too young to enter.
• The U.S. Nationals does not use theatrical lighting for any of the programs, except the exhibition.
• The short program and free skate are held on different days. A winner could not be declared after a single skate.
• Music for the short program and long program must be instrumental.

• There is no checking in girls ice hockey, so many of the moves and "Hollywood's" mention of checking couldn't actually happen
