The Tournament Season 1 Full Episode Guide
The final climatic game, and the hunt is on for the Golden Puck. It all comes down to this.
It's game day. Barry and Janice McConnell are no longer speaking, team sponser Hal Farqueson is under the threat of suspension and the parents suspect the coach is gay. If the Warriors win, can the parents survive the victory?
The night before the Tournament, parents gather for a party. Barry McConnell and Dr. Singh vie for the attention of special guest Phil Esposito, but his eyes are elsewhere.
The equipment is in the trunk and the Warriors are on the road to The Tournament. The drive to Quebec is tense, as everyone wants the new coach in THEIR car. To chat ... about things.
Team sponser Aurora Farqueson needs to pick a new coach. It's either Barry McConnell, the overbearing hockey dad; or the well-meaning team trainer, Dr. Singh, who has never seen a professional hockey game. If only there was another option.
Welcome to Briarside, home of the Farqueson Funeral Home Warriors. This underachieving team of 10-year olds - along with their obsessed parents - are one win away from their first tournament in 40 years. If nothing goes wrong.
