Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Seventeen people were murdered when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. Two weeks after the tragedy, the school's ice hockey team, ranked one of the lowest in the State tournament, unexpectedly beat the top seeded teams and qualified for the national schools championships. Captain Matthew Hautman says they want to continue their Cinderella story and win the title for the school and the victims. From ice hockey to field hockey, the incredible tale of Sandeep Singh and how a shooting nearly cost him his playing career. Plus, the Netherlands are Europe's most successful baseball nation. Amsterdam Pirates chairman says the proposed game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in London will lead to more across Europe. And the Marley family are synonymous with Jamaican music. But they are starting to become influential in women’s football. Bob Marley’s daughter Cedella is big fan of the women national football team. The team failed to reach the last World Cup but are nearing qualification for their first CONCACAF cup, thanks to her support.
