Synopsis
Tensions rise in Dressing Room Four of the Bay Arena, as the Ascension Astros prepare to face off against their rivals, the Carbonear Cardinals, in the final championship game of their high school careers. Following a group of young men with everything to lose, The Astros is a cautionary tale of small-town cycles of abuse, Canadian hockey culture, and the violence of masculinity.
TLDR: What happens when a high school hockey instigator punches the sh★★ out of the rival team’s captain at an underage bar fight the night before their final championship game? The Astros, that’s what. (fringetoronto.com)
