Now that his hockey career is ending, what will become of his life?
Felix Batterinski grew up tough in Northern Ontario where hockey was the
only way out of a life of grinding poverty. He got out and enjoyed fame
as a hockey "enforcer" for the Philadelphia Flyers. But fame is
fleeting.
Now in his thirties and at the end of his playing career, Felix tries to
make a go of it as a player-coach for a Finnish club. As the lone
Canadian on the team, he is an outsider with a reputation that takes on
a life of its own. When a controversial play brings his comeback bid to
a screeching halt, Felix is faced with his own obsolescence and begins a
tragic descent into disillusion and despair.
