Brett Parker returns to his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, and is offered the job of general manager to the Hamilton Steelheads after the current one dies. He also tries to reconnect with his daughter.

The Steelheads make it into the series, but when Brett breaks the team's lucky bottle, their luck goes from bad to worse. Mark Simpson gets a concussion and hides how bad it is from everyone.

Mark continues to hide how serious his condition is from the other players, insisting he is able to play. Michelle is sentenced to community service. Bud Travis comes up from Houston to talk about buying the Steelheads.

Brett reluctantly rehires Lloyd Gorman, whom he had previously fired for working drunk. Mark is furious when he ends up benched in the seventh game because of his concussion. Michelle is hurt while doing her community service, and Brett isn't there for her.
