[man 1] Dad, my interview is about to start.
- What happened to the Wi-Fi? - Try by the window.
No, he can't go over by the window. I've just set up all of this here.
Yeah. Thoughts?
Subtle.
- Oh. - [computer dings]
Okay. We're back. Could someone tell Kayla not to blast music while I'm doing this?
Your interview's not for 15 minutes. Go tell her yourself.
I gotta keep an eye on Mom. We're one step away from baby photos.
- Oh! - Oh!
Oh, good. How else would anyone know what sport I play?
[keyboard clattering]
Kayla, turn the music down, please.
Kayla?
[knocking]
Mac's asking if...
[upbeat music playing]
Kayla?
Okay.
Three, two, one.
[chimes]
One day you're gonna be a second late, and I'm gonna worry.
[laughs] Not a chance.
Anyway, I'm on Canadian time. So technically, I'm five hours early.
Ugh, even time is better back home.
[chuckles]
You need a countdown?
I'll know.

[journalist] So, let's break this down.
You're scoring week in, week out.
[scoffs] Uh-huh.
Scouts flocking to your games, home and away,
and then you move to England!
- [chuckles] - Are you on the run?
No.One word.Hammarström.
So, Anton "The Hammer" Hammarström
moves to England and sets up a center of excellence
that has produced no less than six international superstars.
You gonna be number seven?
Yeah, that's the plan.
Come on. She had no curfew back home.
All of this is new for her.
She has a curfew because this is new for her.
- Maybe she's with friends. - She doesn't have any friends yet.
All right, look. One problem at a time?
[journalist] Hammarström used to play with your dad, right?
Uh-huh.
I think it'd be more accurate to say that my dad played with Hammarström.
Luke MacBentley did not smash any NHL records.
[journalist chuckles] Okay.
So we got some more questions coming in here from Sean in Alberta.
Come on. We're distracting Mac.
Back home, you are known as the Mac-gician.
Do your new teammates have any nicknames for you yet?
If she's not home by ten, I'm gonna call the police.
Oh, honey. She's 15.
She's 15.
[sighs] Drama queen.
[journalist] Okay.
Drama queen?
It's not so obviously cool as Mac-gician, but...
- No, no. I'm... I'm still the... - [phone chimes]
Oh no.
[chimes]
Nineteen missed calls.
[boy] Yikes.
On a scale from one to grounded, where do you think you're at?
Well, they don't know I snuck into the rink, which is good.
And I've still got the "Mac uprooted me and dragged me to England" card, so...
Three?
[chuckles]
Same time tomorrow?
We need to nail those jumps if we're gonna be ready for Ice Burn.
Jacob?
Signal's really bad.
Uh, no. I... I heard.
What?
[Jacob] Kayla,
how are we gonna do Ice Burn?
You're in England.
No, I know, but...
[Jacob] Just... I love these long-distance skates.
They're... they're great. They're really fun. But I mean, we're not...
And I mean, it's... [chuckles]
I'm still your best friend, that's not gonna change, but it's just...
Still on for tomorrow night?
[sighs]
I don't know if this is such a good idea. I...
[phone chimes]
Shoot. My mom's calling.
Look, we'll talk tomorrow.
Okay?
Kayla?
[sighs]
Yep.
Yeah. Yeah, see you to...
[hang up tone playing]
[mellow music playing]
Bye.
Out of your window, Kayla?
I mean, really?
What's wrong?
I just thought it wouldn't matter.
I know that sounds crazy. I just thought
you can put us in Canada and England
or the moon and Timbuktu, and we'd find a way.
I mean, they found ice on the moon, right?
[mom] Oh, sweetheart.
I'm getting princess emojis from people I haven't spoken to
since elementary school.
This is your fault. You ruined my interview for Iceblast, Kayla.
Not now, Mac. Yeah?
[exhales]
- You are gonna find a new partner, Kayla. - [footsteps stomping]
- You know that, right? - [door slams]
Even here.
On the moon.
[chuckles]
Because you, you could skate with anyone.
But it's not about anyone.
Wh... Why is Mac getting princess emojis?
[Luke chuckles]
Well, he got confused,
and he told 900 people that his nickname was Drama Queen.
[laughs]
Awesome.
[upbeat music playing]
Mama, if I leave the ice earlier, I can change at the rink.
Leave the ice earlier?
Ava, you need to work on your priorities.
"Mama, I need to change at the rink. Mama, I should be at school."
Is that Mrs. Hammarström?
[indistinct chatter]
Was. I haven't seen her since your dad stopped playing.
That must be Ava.
That's your father's latest prodigy.
All these hockey stars he flies in,
and he can't see the skating sensation right in front of him.
But you're gonna show him, aren't you, Ava?
Yeah. I will show him.
That's my girl.
Okay.
Looked at me funny.
Well, yeah, 'cause you've got...
Is it gone?
Kay... Kayla. Is it gone?
Hey, Kayla? Kayla!
Hey, is it gone?
[upbeat music playing]
[woman] Kayla!
Hey, sweetheart. I almost forgot.
[sighs] So, this is an open invitational.
Look, I know it's a bit soon,
but I just thought if you could find a partner,
obviously, you qualify for the UK team through me.
This could be a chance for medals, sweetheart.
You know, your first step on that path.
Yeah?
Oh.
Mac's only been here two weeks. He's still trying to impress.
Look, there's trying to impress, and then there's just showing off.
Take yesterday, right?
Four players surrounding him, and he still did not pass.
And he got around them and scored.
That's not the point, Bear.
[boy] Mac!
Saved you a spot.
Thanks.
Sam's a fan.
Your brother isn't the one
always shouting for a puck that never comes, is he?
Just... Just one teeny, little prank.
Play nice, Nico.
Captain's orders.
[indistinct chatter]
Burger, large fries?
Thanks.
- Do you want some ketchup? - Sure.
[sighs]
Here you go.
Thank you.
Enjoy your meal.
[chuckles]
[laughing]
[rap music playing]
[whistle blowing]
[Bear] Okay, Hammers. Practice over.
[clangs]
Whoa.
Easy, man. You'll put a hole in the net. And my brother.
Train at 100. Play at 100.
[Bear] Training's done. Let's get a drink.
I go until I miss.
- How many was that? - I've lost count.
Sounds about right.
[clangs]
If I'm at my best, then you guys are at yours, okay? So...
[clangs]
We'll be fine, man.
No need to be a drama queen.
- [Sam] Yes! - You missed one.
[laughs] Whoa.
Bear, did you see that? [laughs]
[upbeat music playing]
- Do you ever skate? - No, I just work here.
You sure, or just pretend to for free food?
[chuckles] I wish.
Mum runs the cafe. She likes to keep an eye on me.
Isn't that right, Mum?
I can't answer that, Sky, because I'm not eavesdropping.
- Are you some kind of master criminal? - Something like that.
Mm. [laughs]
Kayla. Look, I would...
Uh...
Cool mustache.
Thanks, I grew it myself.
'Sup, Kay?
Uh...
Hey.
Who's your friend?
So predictable.
I'm Sky. You're Kayla's brother?
Mac. Yeah, yeah. I won the hockey scholarship.
I don't know if you realized I was the one banging in all the goals.
You know, it's kinda my...
thing. [sighs]
- Are goals important in hockey? - Pretty important.
And that's your helmet?
Yeah.
You know, I, uh, got a nice smile, so...
gotta make sure I keep all my teeth.
Is it specially made?
No.
Oh, just 'cause I thought it would have to be
to fit your massive ego.
[chuckles]
Okay. [chuckles]
No, it's... it's pretty standard.
Besides, look, I gotta go get changed,
but I don't know.
I'll see you around.
Maybe?
Maybe.
I'll try not to let my massive ego hit the door on the way out.
Oh, I feel bad. It's like being mean to a puppy.
The only thing Mac and a puppy have in common is needing to be trained.
They might look cute, but give 'em an inch,
and they'll drag your family to a continent where you can't skate.
If only we had a rink.
- I was in a pair. - [Sky] Ah.
- Can you find a partner here? - You sound like my mom.
I could.
Just, it's never been about that.
- What's it about? - [Kayla] I don't know.
Just skating so in sync that you're, like, connected or something.
I don't know. It's like speaking a new language.
Sounds very special. I guess that doesn't come along every day.
No, it doesn't.

Sweetheart, I can hear you thinking from here.
Sorry. School stuff.
Okay. Well... [kisses]
...don't be late, okay?
And make sure you bring your skates to the rink today.
Why?
We sort of maybe asked someone to audition to be your new partner.
- Mom. - [mom] He's great. Okay, Kayla?
He is great. He's called Archie. He's 15, and trust me.
Honestly, he is fab.
- This is terrible. - He's, like, half her height.
[mom] Well, that is an exaggeration. Maybe three quarters.
Ugh.
It's gonna be a disaster.
This is gonna be awesome.
[Archie] So, you're American?
Uh, Canadian.
Ah, I've been to America before.
So, um, you've been looking for a partner long?
A while. [chuckles]
I keep dropping them.
Right.
Shall we?
Okay.
[stroking]
[snaps fingers]
[classical music playing]
[chuckles]
[laughing]
[thuds]
- Oh. - [Luke] Oh.
[Kayla sighs]
I... I would help you up, but this tends to be where I drop people.
Can we please just be honest and acknowledge how bad that was?
I'd feel so much better.
- Good. I'm so glad you said. - I'm so sorry, love. It's my fault.
Yeah. I mean, I thought you were bringing him down, really.
[sighs]
Can we just go home?
Well, Anton's back today, so it'd be good to stay and support Mac.
He watched you, right? So it'd be nice.
Yeah, Kayla.
I watched you.
- So it'd be nice. - [mom] Mac.
Hammarström can cut me loose at any time. I gotta hit the ground running.
Can I get you a milkshake?
[claps] Let's go, you.
Are you okay? Have you got a fever? Headache?
Mum, I'm fine.
You know what the doctor said.
You're not out of the woods yet. You have to be so careful.
Okay, now I have a headache.
Okay, Hammers. Let's go! Go! Go!
Mac, let's show Anton exactly why you're here.
- All right? - [Mac] All right.
I need a captain's performance from you today, all right? Captain's. Go.
Okay, guys. Here he comes.
[team] Hammarström! Hammarström!
Hammarström! Hammarström!
Hammarström!
[suspenseful music playing]
[clangs]
[Bear] All right, listen up!
Tonight is the first time Hammarström has seen the new team.
We're in this together. So I need you to play together.
MacBentley.
[stroking]
[shutter clicking]
Let's go. Let's warm up.
Good.
Stick.
[shutter clicking]
Good. Now visualize.
- Remember all your goals for the Cyclones? - Yes, coach.
I don't.
As far as I'm concerned,
tonight is the first time you pulled on skates.
- You show me what you got. - Yes, coach.
Come. I need a word with my new assistant coach.
[shutter clicking]
Bentley.
- Oh, hey, buddy. What's up? - [mom] Hi, Anton.
Sorry I wasn't here when you arrived.
I had a Legends tour in Russia, then a book launch in Sweden.
You know how it is.
Yeah, we know.
[chuckling]
- Still, great to be back on the ice again. - Yeah, nothing like it.
I need you in the stands. Yeah, I want training recorded.
- Yeah. - Yeah?
Yeah.
So, Mac's been training hard, haven't you, Mac?
- Yeah. - [Anton] This boy's a special player, huh?
I know talent when I see it.
Your son.
Your brother.
The sky's the limit, huh?
[Mac chuckles]
Is she okay?
Uh, she's fine. She's just had a bit of a day.
[Mac] Hey.
Fast pace, shouty eyes.
Now, that's a Kayla storm-off if I've ever seen one.
That's typical. First training session with Hammarström,
you gotta make it all about you? Can't you just let me have my thing?
You... Your thing? So it's not enough for you to steal my life in Canada.
- Now you wanna take skating from me too? - Oh, my G...
So dramatic.
- Get over yourself, Kayla. - Me and Jacob had something.
No, you and Jacob had a hobby.
Okay, it was peewee stuff.
I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm going for the literal NHL here.
If it was that important, Mom and Dad would've found a way for you to stay.
No. Hey, hey, Kayla.
[Bear] Mac, let's go.
You good?
[Mac sighs]
Yeah.
- Yeah, I'm fine. - You don't look fine.
- Nico. - [chuckling] What? He looks terrible.
Impress me.
Give me the puck.
Come take it from me.

Okay, everyone. Let's go.
[Luke] What the hell were you thinking?
You look at me.
Violence is never the answer.
- Um, have you seen hockey? - [mom] Don't be smart.
Never in anger, and never, ever against your sister.
And as for you, we are so disappointed in you, Kayla.
That is not how we brought you up to behave.
- Humiliating your brother like that. - In front of his whole team.
In front of Anton.
Oof, not exactly helping.
It's not how we do things in our family.
No, I know exactly how we do things in our family.
We turn our whole world upside down, give up everything
so one person can play a stupid sport.
Some family.
Kayla. Kayla!
[Luke sighs]
I'll go.
[sighs]
Right. Well, I better start making some dinner, then.
Dad was gonna make three-bean stew,
but after the day we've had, no need to inflict that on anyone.
Mom.
I'm sorry.
It's not me you need to be saying sorry to, is it?
Blindsiding your sister like that.
- What were you... - No. I... [sighs]
Yeah.
Yeah, that, obviously, but...
I...
I don't know. I just...
Mac?
Today is all you need to be apologizing for, okay?
'Cause everything else we decided as a family.
Yeah?
- Yeah. - Okay.
[knocking on door, door opens]
[Luke] Hey.
It's only me.
Oh, I remember that show.
[chuckles]
I really miss it.
[Luke] Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
[inhales, exhales]
I miss the wind.
They have wind here.
Oh, but not like in the Chinooks.
All that warm air coming in over the mountain.
English wind is just, uh, windy.
[laughing]
I'm sorry you miss stuff too.
Yeah.
You know, it's not forever.
And you know what I don't miss?
You.
And your brother and your mom.
'Cause you're right here with me.
'Cause Canada might be where we're from, but home, that's wherever we're together.
Right?
So, if I had a crazy dream, you'd make it work for me too?
