1977 made-for-TV sports drama about a big league ice hockey defenseman who is drummed down to the minor leagues for not being aggressive enough. When he earns his spot back in the majors by playing dirty and fighting (which seems like it would have the opposite effect), he finds himself charged with manslaughter after a player of an opposing team is beaten to the point where he later dies of his injuries and the movie becomes a courtroom drama for the second half. Starring Michael Moriarty, Kevin Conway, and Meryl Streep in her film debut!

Filmed in Connecticut.
Airdate: March 16th, 1977

Probably called up to protect the star players , fights and dirty slashes / hits were a common thing back then and some players that are now in the Hall of Fame did built their career on destroying others players..
