Courtney is the English princess, something any girl in the world wants to be - except her. All she wants is a hockey team that she can call family. The thing is, she can't play hockey, though she is the most famous figure skater in England. Her parents, the King and Queen, think that this is enough, but not for her. When it nears her tenth birthday, some Russian friends come over to celebrate, as do hundreds of other people that Courtney could care less about. The night of her ball, she is nearly killed, and while she is getting of the trauma of her almost-murder being her best friend, the stableman, Davis, she finds something out that can change her life forever.
Courtney Riley's dream comes true when she becomes a new member of the Duck's team to compete in the Junior Goodwill Games. She impresses Adam Banks right away with her figure skating talent and even more with her hockey talent, and she finds herself drawn to him, as well. When she is taken back to England by the King and Queen, she is devestated. Will she ever play hockey again? Will she ever see Adam Banks again?
