Dean Youngblood (Rob Lowe) is an exceptionally skilled young ice hockey player trying to make a name in the Canadian Junior Hockey circuit and impress scouts from the National Hockey League. However, he becomes bullied by goon Carl Racki (George Finn), a dirty player who has injured Dean's teammate …

The first issue is a logistical one. Hockey is a difficult sport to learn quickly or fake learning at all. There's a reason movies like Miracle used former hockey players and trained them to be actors instead of training actors how to play hockey. Even big-name stars in hockey films have some hockey background. For instance, Keanu Reeves grew up playing hockey, which is in part how he got cast in the role of Heaver in 1986's Youngblood.
