Shattered Ice
A powerful New England hockey story about grief, friendship, mental health, and the courage to keep going.
When seventeen-year-old Jamie loses his best friend to suicide, the only place that still feels like home is the rink — until even that begins to crack.
Set in a tight-knit New England hockey town, Shattered Ice follows a teenager navigating grief, identity, and the silent weight young athletes carry. It's a story about friendship, family, and the people who quietly stay — coaches, parents, teammates — when everything threatens to break.

Why We Made This Film
Shattered Ice was made in partnership with mental health advocates, educators, and youth sports communities. Every screening is an invitation to talk about what young people carry — and what it looks like to show up for each other.
