Summary:

Ten-year-old Dani Rylan was obsessed with hockey and dreamed of growing up to play in the NHL. As one of the best players on the Florida State junior team, Dani saw no reason not to have the same ambitions as everyone else. But, as the only girl on the team, "at some point, reality sets in." Seventeen years later, Dani decided to change the history of the sport by founding the first professional women's hockey league. Take the Ice goes behind the scenes as Dani creates the National Women's Hockey League and 88 elite female athletes compete to win its first championship. As Dani struggles to keep the league afloat, the players must come together in the wake of an on-ice accident that leaves their teammate paralyzed. Take the Ice is a moving, intimate story of a group of world-class athletes making strides for recognition and equality, and in the process, making history.
