Description

Sherwood is a regular guy who is into philosophy, languages, ancient history, and knowledge. He has always disliked any sports and never cared about fame or too much money either. His lifetime dream was to become an unknown crane operator, a job he really loves. His construction company was participating in a recreational ice hockey league, and then one day, they needed a last-minute replacement goaltender and put Sherwood there. To the amazement of all, he never allows any goals. Discovered by an impenitent agent, he is dragged to NHL against his will and follows a professional big-league hockey season full of surprises, adoration, sensations, tragedies, and personal struggles. Finally, he realizes what life is all about, an attitude that everyone could learn from. After all, one might wonder if there is a little Sherwood living inside all of us.
