Description
In this follow-up to Rocket Blues, Rocket is drafted in the OHL tryouts and heads off to training camp in his pursuit of one day becoming a hockey legend! Now almost 16 years old, Rocket has been drafted by an OHL team in the 13th round. His mom however has different plans for his future and thinks he should go for a US college scholarship instead. But Rocket is sure that junior hockey is his best route to the NHL. After convincing his mom to let him try out, Rocket heads off to training camp, where he soon discovers that most of the other players seem more interested in goals and getting drafted to the NHL, and all the money and perks that come with it, than the team. The competition is high, and the stress higher. Rocket will have to fight for his life to make the team, and decide whether or not his hockey dream is worth it.
