The Charlestown Chiefs are a minor league hockey team in the Federal League. With a losing record, a lack of popularity, and the fact that the town's steel mill -- a main local job provider -- is closing, the team seems doomed to be folded after the season. But then the team picks up the Hanson Brothers, three childlike young men who play the roughest hockey the team has ever seen (played by three [[CastTheExpert real-life minor league hockey players]]). Reggie Dunlop (Newman), a veteran player and the Chiefs' coach, decides to retool the team around the brothers after their aggressive and violent play excites the fans. This decision splits the team between players who enjoy some good rough-housing on the ice, and those who prefer a "clean" style of playing. In a side plot, one of the "clean" players, Ned Braden, is on the verge of losing his wife due to her displeasure with their lifestyle.
