Barclay Bear was a content young grizzly bear playing in the forest where he lived with his mother and father. He became fascinated by the other forest animals playing a curious game using sticks and blades on their feet that they called 'hockey,' and soon tried it himself. As he got better, the other animals invited him to play with them, which led to his invitation to play in the 'Reindeer Games' hockey tournament. But there was a dilemma ? could he join the Forest Rangers team or did he have to hibernate for the winter?
