Hebler and Dyson = Sutton and Youngblood...an easy 10 Rating

In 1989, this movie was released as a made for TV movie...and since then has been harder to find than Ty Cobb's baseball card. It's the original story of the boy named Cory Dyson who leaves the small town behind to chase his hockey dreams. Like Youngblood, he finds both a nemesis and a friend in Pat Hebler, a 5'4 defenseman who had previously had a cup of coffee with the Detroit Red Wings. Hebler wants back into the NHL, and the St. Louis Blues have interest, but does he have what it takes to overcome the wrap-around of Cory Dyson? Don't lose sleep over it...
