Probably when the French goalie is being interviewed with his gear on and he's showing different penalties and slashing and what not. So it does have some great moments in that movie.

They're such nice guys now if you ever get a chance to say hello to them. They've been doing things for that movie, so it just shows how great the movie was and how popular it was. They're still, to this day, going to arenas, rinks and making appearances, so it was a classic. They did a heck of a job for not being actors; it was outstanding. I think it was my first year, at the Totowa Ice World.

See a Problem?

He was actually in the lineup for the rookie game and those games were absolute bloodbaths in those days when the Devils [first] came to New Jersey. He was a tough guy. Teams dressed tough guys, and Hanson was a tough guy. I think I might have clashed with him, I can't really remember. I was a kid and trying to make a name for myself. There were a lot of tough guys in that game. I think I may have had a bump in with him; don't know if it was a scrap, but there was a melee on the ice.

They hit every little tidbit of our game. Yes, in certain ways it was as far as that goes. But the little subtleties of it, they all happen to be half-truths; but they did it in such a funny way with how they handled it all and brought it to the screen.

When you're young, everybody saw it three times a year. I saw it in theater [when it first came out]. I think I was either in junior or just got into coaching. I might have been scouting for the Capitals when it first came out and the reason I know that is when Al MacIsaac was playing with Hampton Roads [in the ECHL], he's now with the Chicago Blackhawks [as senior vice president of hockey operations], he said that [coach] John Brophy would never let the players watch 'Slap Shot' on the bus.

They're there to watch the great ones play -- the Crosbys, the Ovechkins, the McDavids. So, if there's an enforcer there to say, 'You touch my boy, you have to deal with me' It was an aspect of the game that was entertaining, but the way the game has gone, they don't need it anymore. The kids growing up and playing the game are a different breed and the talent's a little different.

You have the European influence here now, so it's faster. There's speed and agility out there. The physical and fighting aspects of the game doesn't really have a place anymore. Concussions are no laughing matter and the league is trying to protect today's players with the new protocol. What do you guys think of that?

  6. As much as they're looking into it, which is a great thing, it's still a big mystery. I don't think they've figured it out yet, but it's good that they are looking at it as a major concern in the game.

    Passion, regret, and destroying sofas all in the name of love.

    Back in our day, you got your bell rung, they would pull you off and you would just sit there on the bench until your head cleared up and then you're back out again. I don't know if it's because of concussions I've had, but at my age there are things that I forget, and that's concerning. But it's great that they're looking at [concussions], and hopefully it's something that they're really able to figure out at some point. They have to go to the manufacturers of the equipment.

    See, we used equipment with the soft padding in the elbow pads and shoulder pads. Our equipment was used to protect us from injuries. They use their equipment now for weapons. And, you know what? There are so many head shots out there and there's no respect for players. They come out of college, or juniors, and they're wearing full cages or a half shield. There's no fear of getting cut.

    An Aces Hockey Novel

    There's no fear of getting hurt. Now they turn pro and here come the head shots, so we have to address whether or not you make everyone wear a shield in the National Hockey League, and you take away their character. There are no characters in the game no more because they took that all out of it, and that's where it's not fun no more. It's all robots going up and down the ice. Another thing I look at is every rink is the same.

    Their arena was built for that style of game. When they played in Montreal, [Boston] couldn't catch them. It was the character of the rinks. Jamieson, for writing the perfect story for Max. I love reading about the hot hockey players on the Aces hockey team as they fall in love. I enjoyed this book. What seems to be a cut-and-dried romance about second chances and moving on has some emotional depth as Max finally realizes his wife would not want him to use their relationship as a buffer from falling in love again.

    Plus, hockey fans will appreciate the hard work that goes on off the ice to get game ready. Also in Aces Hockey. Also by Kelly Jamieson. See all books by Kelly Jamieson. Inspired by Your Browsing History. Looking for More Great Reads?
