Let's Talk About Hockey (The Real Slap Shot) 

Ben Mical That's right. They moved to Greenville, South Carolina and became the Road Warriors but then changed their name to the Swamp Rabbits a few years later. The Wheeling Nailers, the ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins, played half their home games of the 2009-2010 season in Johnstown. After that the Cambria County War Memorial Arena, the former home of the Chiefs, won the first Kraft Hockeyville USA contest and hosted the Penguins and the Tampa Bay Lightning in a preseason game last season, which by the way started the Penguins run to their 4th Stanley Cup in 25 years.

Glad you enjoyed it, my friend! 🙂

Dave was tough, I fought him in BEAUCE, 1975

The BB did well... until they crossed the path of the Canadiens who exposed the BB flaws and simply brushed them aside for good

@@MonTube2006 Actually Canadiens beat them at their own game - it was an exhibition game in I think Hershey ? it was a neutral site game - that turned into a pier 6er - the game never finished and that was the end of the broadstreet bullies

@@pjpredhomme7699 Was that a preseason game? Do you remember the year?

Interesting. I had never heard that those areas were scouted as possible filming locations. I’ll see if I can find any written accounts of that. Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers, my friend!

you mean the JOHNSTOWN JETS, the Chiefs were made up for the movie.

@@THESANDMAN9 echl team after the jets folded was called the Johnstown chiefs

@@thesuneversets WE'RE TALKING ABOUT slap shot and the NAHL, 1975, THE JETS.

@@THESANDMAN9 I’m well aware of who they are

@@THESANDMAN9 You don't know what you're talking about....buzz off

My uncle, John Daley, was their GM for 30 years. Retired way before they left Johnstown

Yes, they became the Binghamton Dusters after they joined the AHL.

@@emt5330 Incorrect. They were always the Broome Dusters. They weren't known as "Binghamton until the Hartford Whalers became their parent club (Binghamton Whalers). I'm from Binghamton and was a regular fan.

They were the Broome Dusters from 1973-77. When they came into the AHL in 77 until 1980 they were the Binghamton Dusters. They became the Binghamton Whalers in 1980. BTW, I'm from Vestal, so I was at the games too.

@@emt5330 This is easily resolved: Please find a picture of a Dusters program, the cover of which says "Binghamton Dusters".You won't be able to because they were never the Binghamton Dusters.

No it was based on the NAHL. JOHNSTOWN JETS, BEAUCE JAROS, ETC,,,

He and Paul Stewart

That is completely absurd. The movie was written by Nancy Dowd...sister of Ned Dowd who played for Johnstown Jets in 73-74 and 74-75. She wrote the movie based on tape recorded stories that happened with Johnstown Jets. She actually lived a year in Johnstown. The Hansons were based on the real life Carlsons...who also played for the Jets. The movie was filmed in Johnstown...and the Chiefs uniforms were patterned after the Jets. To say this movie was based on Beauce Jaros is completely absurd. Try again...LOL.

I agree especially the scenes in the stands and with the police; and I was There, Beauce # 14.

@@williambyers6731 LOL...the movie is entirely based on stories Ned Down (Johnstown Jets player) told his sister Nancy Dowd...who wrote the story based on events that happened during the 1974-75 season of Johnstown Jets. Who did Jack, Jeff, and Steve Carlson (the Hansons) play for? Jets or Jaros? Who did Dave Hanson, Guido Tenesi, Jean Tetrault, Ron Docken play for...Jets or Jaros? Was the movie shot in Johnstown, PA or in Quebec? Charleston Chiefs are the fictional representation of the Johnstown Jets. Beauce Jaros did not even exist during the 74-75 NAHL season. If anything...the Beause Jaros are loosely fictionalized as the Syracuse Bulldogs in the movie...as evidenced by the orange sweaters worn...same as Beauce Jaros.

@@peachman1970 BULLSHIT, Newman came to US first. The shots of going into the stands and the police were NOT Johnstown. ASK KERRY FRAZIER if you don't believe me. There is even a Documentary i Quebec so If you weren't there, you KNOW SFA>
