Description

In this Franklin TV Storybook, our hero loves playing hockey, and he especially loves winning. But when Skunk joins his team, Franklin stops having fun. She can't skate fast or pass the puck. Franklin doesn't want to lose tomorrow's game, but he doesn't want Skunk to feel bad, either. Will Franklin find a way to make hockey fun for everyone?
