Closeup of a young boy wearing a hockey helmet with a wire facemask and a black and red hockey jersey stands on an ice rink, while others skate and practice in the background. Caption. I've never played on a team before.

Part of the "My Brand New Life" series. Pasquale, a devoted hockey player, will trade his hockey skates for the ballet slippers he'll need when he takes on Nikita's life as a ballroom and ballet dancer, while Nikita will need those skates in order to be part of Pasquale's hockey team. It takes hard work to become a professional at any sport, but the trophy and medals seem to indicate that both Pasquale and Nikita are well on their way.
