Written Option 1:

The movie would be a look at the seedy underside of professional hockey in the late 1950s and one young man's path from small town irrelevance to the "heights" of a middling level of broader recognition. It is a tale of players with no money, no fame, and no rights coming to terms with wanting to play the world's greatest game in conditions that make all of them question why they even bother. A lot of smoking, drinking, and reprehensible characters on all sides.

Barcus Juneau's experience growing up playing hockey in modern-day North America would have very few points in common with the story of the film, but he would happily offer to serve the file however possible. His cameo would be in the scene where the bar brawl happens between members of rival minor league teams: along with a group of other possibly-underage drinkers in the background of a dive bar, he watches carefully as the incident escalates, and is one of the first to duck out the front door when the punches start being thrown.
