His slapshot is not enough, though, as his aggression and poor skating ability on the ice gets him cut from every team he tries out for.

His grandmother, with whom hes lived almost all his life due to an unfortunate hockey related incident which killed his father, has not paid taxes on her home for several years. As such, she owes $270,000 to the IRS and the house that Happys grandfather "built with his bare hands" is about to be repossessed. Happy searches for a way to help, but has few options. On a bet with the movers, who are chipping golf balls with Happys grandfathers clubs, Happy takes a swing at trying to hit the ball farther than them. He drives the ball an estimated 400 yards in one shot (hitting unsuspecting neighbors down the street). The movers indicate how unbelievable this is and Happy discovers a new source of income to buy back his grandmothers home.
