Growing up on a First Nation reserve, young Ted Nolan built his own backyard hockey rink and wore skates many sizes too big. Playing the game meant spending his life in two worlds: one in which he was loved and accepted and one where he was often told he didn't belong. Nolan chronicles those controversial years. This is also an exploration of how a beloved sport can harbour subtle but devastating racism, of how a person can find purpose when opportunity and choice are stripped away, and of how focusing on what really matters can bring two worlds together.
