An arrogant rookie for the Hamilton Mustangs, Dean Youngblood’s (Ashton James) talent is threatened by his explosive temper. Dean begins to calm down under the mentorship of Denis Sutton (Henri Picard) and the charm of Jessie (Alexandra McDonald), the coach’s daughter. But when his rival, Carl Racki (Donald MacLean Jr), seriously injures Sutton, revenge is required. As the series finale approaches, Dean must choose: follow the harsh lessons of his past or prove himself worthy of Sutton’s legacy. To win the title, he will have to face Racki, and his own nature, on the ice.
Distributed in Quebec by TVA Films, YOUNGBLOOD: HOCKEY IN THE BLOOD is produced by Aircraft Pictures, in association with Dolphin Entertainment and Photon Films. The feature film is also released in English Canada and the United States on March 6, 2026.
