(W) Satoru Noda. Rou and the other Oinokami first-year students survived their first day on the ice hockey team and made the cut* but their training has only just begun. Despite the heat of summer* Oinokami forges ahead* practicing in indoor ice rinks. The former team captain* Higuchi* has come back to town* but guilt over the team's loss has taken him down a dark path. Will the new team members follow him? Then it's time for the rookies to play in their first real game* against the decidedly delinquent players of Sekka High. For older teen audiences.
