Slap Shot (movie)


 

Slap Shot is a 1977 Hollywood film starring Paul Newman and Michael Ontkean and directed by George Roy Hill. The film is based on a book written by Nancy Dowd, based in part on her brother Ned Dowd's experiences playing minor league hockey in the United States in the Seventies, during which time violence -- especially in the low minors -- was the selling point of the game.
