"The bear, the moose and the beaver want nothing more this winter than to play hockey -- there's just one problem: the frozen lake they play on won't freeze! With their ice rink looking more like a swimming pool, the trio head home and wait for the colder weather to arrive. To pass the time, they watch TV. They sleep. They eat junk food.
