Plot

A talented young teenage figure skater named Katelin Kingsford dreams of being a champion. During one of her competitions, she is discovered by a famous Russian skating coach, Natasha Goberman. However, Natasha coaches at an expensive boarding school and Katelin's parents cannot afford to send her there. To help Katelin with the expenses, Natasha convinces the girls hockey team coach to give the last hockey scholarship to Katelin so she can train at the boarding school. Katelin is overjoyed and excited to be taught by Natasha but quickly learns that juggling hockey practice, skate club practice, and her homework is much harder than she imagined. A student assistant coach for the hockey team named Spencer constantly ridicules her, and her fellow skaters in the figure skating club are just as rude. However, Katelin finds some consolation in her roommate, Amy 'Hollywood' Henderson, a fellow hockey player.

Katelin faces several obstacles and bullying in her new life, due to which Katelin loses a private training session with one of her idols, Kristi Yamaguchi, causing Natasha to feel great disappointment towards Katelin. Katelin works hard to improve, but is overpowered and feels like quitting. Katelin begins flunking her schoolwork as well. Combined with the hostility of the hockey team, she reurns home to find her stuff packed. Feeling unwanted, Katelin grabs a box of her ice skating things and runs out of the house. After talking with her mother, Katelin decides that she's not going to quit no matter how hard things may seem, and she goes back to school.

A great change occurs in Katelin. She pushes herself harder now to do her best in everything, including hockey. She spends a lot of time studying and her grades improve drastically. She spends hours practicing both hockey and figure skating alone. Spencer knows that Katelin is a figure skater and admires her even more for it due to her drastic improvement. Later in the season, Katelin's practice pays off when she helps her team win. With Katelin, the girls hockey team is suddenly on a winning streak.

Later on, when the coach announces the date of the finals, Katelin realizes that it is also the same day as the Senior Nationals, an event that scouts for potential Olympic figure skaters. She is extremely confused. In the end, Katelin shows up at the hockey game, much to Spencer's disbelief. They lose the finals by one goal, but the team is far from disappointed, saying that they were happy to have made it into the finals and that they will have another chance next season.

Spencer gathers all of Katelin's figure skating equipment and takes her to the Senior Nationals, but her suitcase falls open in front of the hockey team before they can make it out and exposes her as a 'twirl girl'. Katelin runs away in embarrassment. While getting ready, Katelin realizes that one of her skates is missing, and that it must have fallen out when the bag fell open. She tells Natasha that she will skate in her hockey skates instead, but that fails when she falls right in the beginning of her skating routine. However, the entire hockey team arrives with her missing skate. She does a wonderful job on her routine. The judges announce that Katelin has made it into the US Olympic team, and the movie ends with Katelin waving and smiling.
