The story
In the fictional Rust Belt city of Charlestown, Pennsylvania, the impending closure of the steel mill, which will force layoffs of 10,000 workers, threatens the town's minor league ice hockey team.
Player-coach Reggie Dunlop and most of his players have no employment prospects outside hockey.
Games devolve into bench-clearing brawls and Dunlop offers a $100 bounty to any player who assaults Tim McCracken, the player-coach of the rival Syracuse team.
