Film synopsis

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Fourteen-year-old Katelin (Jordan Hinson) dreams of being an Olympic figure skating champion. But when her rubber band snaps during her performance, she is devastated. However, she is discovered by a Russian, Natasha Gobermann, a renowned skating coach. Because Katelin doesn't have enough money to train with Natasha, she's forced to join the Buckston Academy girls' hockey team, in order to gain a scholarship. She divides her time between hockey and skating, often with conflictions in her schedule. During the middle of the movie there is a turning point she comes home only to find her true calling at Buckston Academy. Then, to her surprise, she discovers true friendship and teamwork for the first time, she wins her championship and loses her hockey game. But along the way she realizes that being friends and being a part of something is completely worth it.

Factual Errors

The minimum age to appear in the World Championships is 15. At 14 Kaitlin would be ineligible.
The U.S. Nationals does not use theatrical lighting for any of the programs
The short program and free skate are held on different days. A winner could not be declaired after a single skate.

The youngest figure skater to go to an Olimpic race and win a gold medal is from Pennsylvania

Goofs

When Katelin puts on her hockey skates, her leggings are not on. When Ronnie returns the skate it is white. Her skates suddenly appear as neutral and her leggings suddelny appear (although she might've put them on while putting on her skate.)

Trivia

One of the stunt skaters, Stephanie Rosenthal, actually went to Nationals. She placed 8th overall.
