After years alone in his castle, Vlad is ready to try something new, so he strolls into town to find a hobby. At first none of the activities seem quite right for him. But when he overhears the junior hockey team vowing to crush and destroy their rivals, he's thrilled. It sounds perfect! Vlad immediately falls for the game, but he also quickly realizes that superhuman powers don't mean much in hockey without a mastery of the basics. Can a centuries-old vampire really learn new tricks? Glory on Ice celebrates teamwork, perseverance, and a love of hockey that will last a lifetime, even for an immortal being.
