EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Gillespie (Julie and the Phantoms), Kyla Kenedy (Mr. Mayor) and Sterling Beaumon (Your Lucky Day) are attached to star in Shattered Ice, a New England hockey drama from director Alex Ranarivelo.

Written by Jake Miskin, the film finds high school hockey bruiser Will Mankus (Gillespie) more lost than ever following the unexpected loss of his best friend and star player, Danny (Beaumon), to suicide. As his alcohol consumption intensifies and his mental health declines, Mankus must lift himself up from rock bottom with the help of his small-town New England community to find hope and pursue his dreams of playing college hockey.
