The players' rough style not only earns them infamy but also attracts attention from the league and other teams, causing tension and conflicts among the Chiefs' roster. Moreover, management faces pressure from the league to clean up the team's image and play a more conventional style of hockey.
Meanwhile, the team's veteran player-coach, Reggie Dunlop, struggles to navigate the changing dynamics within the team. He balances his loyalty to his teammates, the demands of management, and his own personal turmoil, including a failing marriage and potential retirement from the sport.
As the season progresses, the Chiefs face various challenges both on and off the ice, including the threat of the team's relocation and internal conflicts among the players. Through it all, they rely on their camaraderie and the notorious Hanson Brothers' style of play to overcome adversity and forge ahead.
