Big League

David Stone always dreamed of playing in the NHL and after a summer of intense training in a small Saskatchewan town he was sitting nervously at the rookie orientation session of the Detroit Red Wings as an undrafted walk-on. Sitting ahead of him in both sightline and career path is Riley Sawyer, the league's number one draft pick from last June and the consensus favourite to lead the team to the Stanley Cup. David's unsure if he belongs while Riley believes everything belongs to him, an egotistical miscalculation in this world that makes him an outcast with his teammates and coaches. Yet, as they both battle to make the roster a much darker reality of professional sports will soon manifest itself and change the game they love forever. Who could have imagined one irresponsible night of partying in New York would hurl them into a deadly world of Russian mobsters, professional assassins, and almost certain death. From Detroit to New York and Nashville to Miami, the two young rookies discover what real team work means as they struggle to find their way in the unforgiving world of professional sports while surviving in the real world of organized crime.
