Anyone who considers themselves a hockey fan undoubtedly is a huge fan of the movie Slapshot. For those who aren't it's an awesome movie from the 1977 about a minor league hockey team and their struggles to avoid bankruptcy and disbanding. It stars Paul Newman as the captain and coach.
Although the most memorable characters are these three goon brothers, the Hanson Brothers. Essentially a trio of cheap, dirty fighters and caused mayhem any time they were allowed on the ice. Much to the delight of an ever-growing fan following.
It turns out that the son of one of the brothers, Dave, has made it to the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs. His name is Christian Hanson and is actually pretty good, thankfully he didn't follow in his goony dad's footsteps. Now just let me make sure my profile doesn't list a home address for Dave to pummel me with some foiled up knuckles.
Dave's a killer!
