From “the vault”, go behind the visor with Dave Hanson as he recounts his journey from a hard hitting enforcer for the Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota North Stars to becoming a cult cinema icon. Hanson shares legendary stories with Pete, from the set of Slap Shot, including how a last-minute roster change led to his unforgettable role as one of the bespectacled Hanson Brothers. From “putting on the foil” to dropping the gloves in the NHL and WHA, Dave Hanson has lived the ultimate “old-time hockey” career. In this episode, he breaks down the real-life inspirations behind the Charlestown Chiefs and reflects on the enduring, politically incorrect magic of starring alongside Paul Newman in the greatest hockey movie ever made.
