- Two hockey teammates have a locker room altercation, and one of them is injured with a head wound. He does not go with his teammates for a post-practice drink and is later found dead in the locker room from a second blow to the head.
- Detective Murdoch investigates the murder of Archie Simpson, a hockey player who is found dead in the team's locker room. Simpson had earlier had a punch-up with his teammate Eddie Driscoll, who happens to be George Crabtree's old friend and the man who married, Lydia, a woman George had once been interested in. The team is owned by Langston Wallace who for the first time has a team that may win the Stanley Cup. There was tension on the team as well with new players arriving and rumors that one of them may be a paid professional, the scourge of hockey. Dr. Grace is having problems of her own when the case brings her into contact with Jerome Bradley, the man to whom she was once engaged to.—garykmcd
- Crabtree is delighted to be reunited with his cocky youth friend Eddie Driscoll, despite him boasting to have married George's old love Lydia, but forced to arrest him as prime suspect when his 'Toronto Wellingtons' hockey team's star player Archie Simpson, whom he haughtily knocked a head injury in a locker-room fight, is found there died from blood loss, probably with a hockey stick. Chief Constable Giles backs the demand of his good friend, club owner Langston Wallace, to file it as an accident fast, given it's Toronto's first-ever shot at the coveted national league Stanley Cup, but after Dr. Grace concludes the fatal blow was administered way later, agrees with Murdoch conducting a proper murder investigation, only discretely. Driscoll is found flirting shamelessly behind Lydia's back, notably with not-amused ex Grace, and at odds with a third star player, Jerome Bradley, Grace's other ex. There is evidence of match cheating, reported to the MP nationally in charge, and setting up the owner of the fatal stick, which is linked to Wallace's office.—KGF Vissers
