A lighthearted sports comedy sequel that trades on underdog charm and ensemble camaraderie, built around physical humor and the absurdity of a mismatched hockey team.

With the original Hanson Brothers still on the same minor league ice hockey team, the Chiefs are sold to a new owner who gives them a female coach and puts them in a league in which they are to be regularly humiliated by an opposing Harlem Globetrotters-like team.
