Slap Shot (1977)

A failing ice hockey team finds success with outrageously violent hockey goonery. This irreverent and hilarious look into the world of professional sports has Paul Newman as the coach of the Chiefs, a struggling minor-league hockey team. To build up attendance at their games, management signs up the Hanson Brothers, three hard-charging players whose job is to demolish the opposition. Slap Shot's outrageous comedy, hard-hitting action, memorable lines and unforgettable characters have made this classic one of the all-time best sports movies ever! A former hockey star now coaching a losing minor-league team turns them into a goon squad of thugs when he realizes that playing dirty excites fans.
