Plot summary[edit]
Anthony, a 12-year-old who loves to play hockey, leads his team, the Monarchs, to the championship game. Along the way, Anthony faces racist slurs, micro-aggressive insults, and stereotyping from members of the opposing team, the Cardinals, that are meant to throw Anthony off his game. Anthony must struggle to maintain composure. Fortunately, Anthony has supportive friends, including his best friend and teammate, Matt, to help him.[1][3]
