About SKATING TO NEW YORK is a contemporary coming-of-age adventure, about five boys on a small-town Canadian high school hockey team, who live to skate. To do something great after losing a big game, they decide to skate across Lake Ontario to New York on the coldest day of the year. Think of the movies FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS meets STAND BY ME. This is a story about home and friendship, about leadership and facing up to danger, and about growing up and never giving up. (C) Official Site
