Summary
Eric "Bitty" Bittle believes in hockey the way some people believe in God. A long-running and passionate fan of the Samwell Wellies minor league hockey team, Bitty picks one hockey player at the beginning of each season, a sort of "project," who he hooks up with while trying to impart all the hockey and life wisdom he has to share.
This system has worked pretty well for Bitty for several seasons now- but this season, everything gets turned on its head. The arrival of highly drafted, highly immature hotshot rookie Kent Parson is followed immediately by the arrival of the much older, freshly-traded veteran Jack Zimmermann who is brought in to "mature the kid."
What follows are the craziest 82 games the Samwell Wellies and Bitty himself have ever seen. But, as Bitty always says, "It's a long season and you gotta trust it."
Based very, very strongly off of "Bull Durham," which is IMHO one of the most underrated sports movies ever.
