    At the 1988 Winter Olympics at Calgary we see Doug Dorsey battered in a vicious hockey game against West Germany. We then see a Kate doing her program and falling when a lift goes bad.

    when circumstances bring a professional hockey player and a professional figure skater together, comedy, drama and romance ensue.
