A behind-the-scenes look at the classic movie that "captures the spirit of the thing". Over 30 years after its cinematic debut, "Slap Shot" remains one of the most popular sports movies of all time, and this book is actor Dave Hanson's firsthand account of its making. Starring the legendary Paul Newman, the movie was based on the hilarious and outrageous antics of the fictitious Charlestown Chiefs, a tough-as-nails minor league hockey team in the early 1970s. In financial trouble and due to fold at the end of the season, they bring in the Hanson Brothers -- three of the toughest hockey players around -- in a desperate bid to sell tickets. What ensues is pure comic genius. Here, Dave Hanson -- who played ringleader Jack Hanson in the film -- not only opens the vault and dishes the dirt on the making of the movie, from the bench-clearing brawls and the practical jokes on set to the legendary partying that went on during filming, but also explores how the movie changed his and many of the cast and crew's lives forever.
