A Northern Canadian girl, Ciara, begs her family for a backyard hockey rink. Not wanting to travel to town to skate, Ciara envisions her very own rink on which she and her fiends can play. With no help from her family, Ciara begins smoothing out the bumpy river ice with a spoon and warm water. First the rink is the size for ants, then for the dog, but eventually her hard work inspires the community to come together to create a hockey rink for everyone. The children and adults enjoy the convenience and efforts of their hard work, as they play hockey on their rink. During one of the final games of the season, Ciara find herself still wanting to score the winning goal. As she tries to achieve this, her mother screams a warning of ice break up, and the community is sent into a panic! While parents are rounding up their children, Ciara is still racing to the net with a goal on her mind. Thankfully she is saved after she scores her goal.
