I’m just getting around to reading this now as I was out of town all last week. My best friend and I are going to Johnstown for a Slap Shot pilgrimage as part of his bachelor “party”. If anyone could point me in the direction of shooting locations, other than the War Memorial, it would be appreciated.

Probably a bit late to the party here…but here’s a trivia bit on “Slap Shot”:

Did you know that #7 of the Hyanisport Presidents is none other than Washington Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau?

The Chiefs unis were identical to the Jets all right, and the Jets were identical to their (at some time) WHA parent club, the Minnesota Fighting Saints.

The Charlestown Chiefs unis (directly modeled from the Johnstown Jets right down to the reverse color Captains/Alternate Captains C and As, the “All America City” patch and the logo script) are my all time favorites! Much better than the clown outfits being worn by most of the NHL now, if that’s not damning with faint praise. The Presidents were basically Minnesota North Stars uniforms and the Bulldogs were Flyers (without sleeve numbers).

Some of the replicas being sold look pretty good but A: they’re Air-Knit or mesh and B: most have names on the back, something the originals didn’t hae.

I am not sure if you guys have ever covered this subject, but Gridiron Gang (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) was on FX over the weekend. Talk about a friggin’ logo creep. I don’t think there was a single scene without an Under Armor logo. The shots of the players faces were skewed just so they could squeeze in the “UA” on the lapel of the jersey, I had to change the station because of the annoyance.

Those 1981 White Sox jerseys are not black; they’re dark blue.

Yup, and the Yankees also wear dark blue, right? Whatever.

Not only was Bruce Boudreau in the movie as a player, his apartment was used in the movie as Reg Dunlop’s. Bruce says they wanted an “authentic looking hockey players apartment” and his won out. They didn’t touch a thing, just came in and filmed.
