Junior Majeur

Janeau Trudel plays for Team Canada in the World Junior Championship in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. They reach the final but are defeated by the Russian National Team led by Yuri Karpov. He returns to Chicoutimi to resume his club season.

Back in Chicoutimi, fans celebrate his success at a local bar and he reconnects with Julie and his friend Joey Boulet. The night blends pride with the looming pressure of expectations on his career. The atmosphere is festive but tense about what comes next.

After partying all night, Janeau takes the wheel of Joey's pickup and nearly loses control while checking his cell phone. Two police officers intervene, and to avoid trouble, he switches seats with Joey, making it look like Joey was driving drunk. They are escorted back to their pension house with no consequences.

Janeau returns to play for the Saguenéens, but the team falters and the owner fires the head coach. Stéphane Côté, a former Pee-Wee coach, is hired to lead the team. Janeau endures changes in leadership as the season continues.

The Saguenéens' struggles push Janeau down to the second spot in the upcoming pro draft, behind Karpov. Scouts react to his inconsistent play while his name remains in the mix for top picks. The team morale is influenced by his draft positioning.

Julie begins an internship with Louis Drouin, a prominent Chicoutimi journalist. Drouin learns about the arrest story and Joey reveals he was the one behind the wheel that night. Julie becomes torn between loyalty to Joey and reporting the truth.

The Saguenéens trade Joey Boulet to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies the day after the confession. The team owner tells Joey to distance himself from his alcoholic father as his agent. The trade marks a major shift for Joey's career and personal life.

Joey's father Luke rents a house in Rouyn to live with his son. They agree to stop drinking as part of rebuilding their relationship. Nathalie Leblanc approaches Joey to address his drinking problem, signaling ongoing consequences of his lifestyle.

Janeau is named captain of the Saguenéens and a winning streak follows. He also starts a relationship with Julie, strengthening his personal and on-ice leadership. The team rides the momentum of their improvements.

Julie learns from a school janitor that Janeau was the one behind the wheel the night of the arrest, contradicting the public story. She confronts Janeau and ends their relationship, then writes an article exposing the truth but calls Joey to tell him the real story, leaving him devastated.

Janeau decides to drive to Drummondville to tell Joey the truth in person, but by the time he arrives the moment has passed. He records a video confessing the truth about that night to set the record straight. The season continues as his performance improves, finishing with 39 points in 12 games.

The Huskies and Saguenéens meet in the first round of the QMJHL playoffs. The off-ice drama fuels an intense first game, where Joey delivers a knee-to-knee hit that sidelines Janeau for the rest of the playoffs. Joey is suspended for the series.

At the NHL Draft, Yuri Karpov is selected first by Buffalo. Montreal trades up to take Janeau Trudel with the second overall pick. Later, Joey Boulet is drafted in the seventh round by Philadelphia. The draft reshapes the futures of all involved.

Janeau's family throws a surprise party to celebrate his accomplishment. He tries to reconnect with Julie, but she reveals she plans to study in France. The film ends with Janeau and Joey skating in the local arena, passing the puck to each other.

In the closing moment, Janeau and Joey share a quiet skate, testing forgiveness and friendship as they pass the puck one last time. The season's turmoil fades as they find common ground on the ice, hinting at a hopeful future.
