DESCRIPTION:

Aggressively trained by her no-nonsense mother (Emmy(r) and Tony? Award winner Shirley Knight), teenage singles skater Carrie Harlech (Joy LeDuc) has the talent but lacks the confidence to win. So when her new coach (Tony Lo Bianco) pairs her with a handsome ex-hockey player (James Vincent McNichol), Carrie finds the love and inspiration that will take them to greatness and a shot at the National Championships. 

Directed by veteran cinematographer John A. Alonzo (Chinatown) and highlighted by the dazzling performances of skating doubles Rick Turley and Susan Berens of Ice Follies, Champions: A Love Story - inspired by real events - is a heartwarming romance about strangers whose love for skating would win them the greatest prize of all. Each other.
