Why these tropes fit
Gigi Graham, daughter of legendary hockey coach Garrett Graham, aims to qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. To improve her game behind the net, she strikes a deal with Luke Ryder, the grumpy new co-captain of the Briar men's hockey team, who needs a recommendation from Gigi's father to land a summer coaching spot. The two view each other as enemies but try to ignore their intense, mind-spinning chemistry as they work together, leading to a dangerous but potentially worthwhile game.
