Delaney has played hockey for as long as she can remember. She grew up with two older brothers who've been playing since the age of four and are now playing pro in the NHL. When she was just 16 years old, Delaney moved to Winnipeg Manitoba to play in the boys league there before being placed on their AHL team. One day her and her best friend Jason get a call that they're being traded and going back to her hometown to play for to the Toronto Marlies.

Sometimes things don't work out the way they were supposed to be. Just ask Alexis Martin, a 24 year old girl who has been left to fight for her life more times than anyone should be.

And it's not going to be easy, but together they will be able to do the impossible.
