Revisiting Slap Shot 45 Years Later - With Steve Carlson! - Visit Johnstown, PA 

Slap Shop is a masterpiece of Cinema. My wife saw it for the first time with me this past christmas in Florida. She loved it! That was probably the 15th time ive seen it. Yes, Slap Shot is the greatest hockey film ever. The two Carlson's and the Hanson did such a great job playing the Hanson Brother's. All three were great skaters.

He got to act in a movie with Paul Newman and play hockey with Wayne Gretzky. That's amazing!

Greatest hockey movie ever. It still holds up today. I could see it over and over again. Thank you for the behind the scenes info. What a movie.

Not just the greatest hockey movies ever made but one of the greatest sports movies ever made!

Met these guys at an autograph signing after a charity game in Seattle 20 some years ago. We were at the back of the line, and I was getting a little loaded. When we got to the table, I said "I found that machine that took your f'ing quarter" and put one on the table. Can't remember which one, but one said "I think it was Canadian, eh". Priceless moment I'll never forget. Thanks guys!

A proper legend, Steve Carlson

A movie that brings me pure joy, never gets old, just keeps getting better

So Glad to see you are doing better health wise Mr. Carlson! We love ya here in Johnstown!

Terrific tour, and glad to see Steve up and about! F--k cancer!

This movie will always have a special place in my heart. I was a little boy in the mid 80's when i saw it for the first time and fell in love with the sport instantly.

I love the part where the bus driver is beating the bus with a sledge hammer and they ask him "What are you doin?" And he driver says "IM MAKIN IT LOOK MEAN!!!"

‘I’m listening to the f-king song’ was the highlight for me amongst all the highlights of this movie! Slap shot is my favorite sports movie. Thanks for the memories!

Awesome to see actors come back to do filming locations and talk about them.

Steve, I didn’t know about your cancer. I’m glad that you are doing better!! God bless

My high school hockey coach. Good to see he’s doing well

I remember back in the 1990's, the Hansons came to Portland Maine as guests of the Portland Pirates and I thought they were gonna get thrown out of the building that night! Their antics were pushing the envelope but hysterical !

"Owns...... OWNS!!!!" Ha ha ha!!!! What a classic. Every guy I know within 20 years of my age knows every line in this movie.

This is awesome!!! So many memories of watching this flick over the years…. Its great to get a little history behind some of the scenes. Old time hockey never gets old!!!

I love old hockey arenas and this one is great!

A great movie one of my favorite Hockey movie Im french Canadian and here in Quebec its a classic cult movie

When you talk about iconic movies immortalizing a time period and a sport, none ring as lovingly accurate as Slap Shot. Eddie Shore, old time hockey, for life.

Steve - you’ve given so much to us fans over the years; the least we could do is support you through your tough time. No need to thank us ! I thank you for so many great memories. God Bless from Canada 🇨🇦

Met the Carlson’s in Marquette Michigan , when they played for the Iron Rangers.

Thanks again for making one of my best hockey movies ever. Glad you are doing well 😊

I love this movie Should part of the national film registry

Adding a visit to Johnstown and this arena to my bucket list 👍

I'm betting on a foiled up Carlson over cancer every time.

very cool. love the Hanson brothers!!!

Greatest movie ever.

The Best Hockey Movie Of All Time

I remember as a kid, who was on the ice 6 days a week, watching this on broadcast tv and laughing SO hard that the next day my abs were pure pain.

Steve, may God bless you and keep you safe. You are an inspiration to everyone. Love you lots! From all of us in Buffalo, NY (Home of the Norsemen!).

In the province of Québec, in Canada, Slapshot is a classic. It was translated in Québécois French and it was sooooo hilarious!!!!

12:26 “and this is where the liquid beverages were here…”. This is guy is excellent.

Great to see a kid from the Iron Range doing well!

ICONIC movie that'll never be forgotten ....

Seen that movie so many times

great movie.. i don't have the exact line but one of the funniest scenes ever was when the hanson brother told the ref to shutup during the anthem so he could hear the song . it just struck me as hysterical

Met the Hansons in Greenville 2015 at a hockey game. Coolest guys I ever met.

Hey Steve, it's Jim Starr in Hershey, PA ... I am glad you are doing well and I appreciate the tour. lol - It's been a while since the AHL team you played on (Baltimore Skipjacks) came to Hershey to play the Bears and all you guys would do the "snake" on the ice at the end of warmups. Remember that winning streak you and Baltimore had, I believe it was a 17 game win streak and the funny thing was that the streak started when you beat the Bears ... and 17 games later you were back in Hershey and the Bears ended your streak. See Bennett Wolfe much? : ) ... You and the rest of the Hanson's posed for a pic with me when you guys came to the area for a charity game. You guys had a bad temper as you started roughing me up just because I asked you if you wanted a stinkin' root beer. ... I mean, you could of just said No. LOL - ... Jim Starr - Hershey, PA / On RU-vid and Facebook.

Great stuff. And good to see Marley’s statue wasn’t canceled and torn down.

I loved this movie! My mother was born and raised in Johnstown, (1936) can’t wait to show her this video. My father was from Windber.

As a huge fan of Slapshot, this was fantastic to see and hear about these actual filming locations. Thank you Steve! And best wishes to you for continued good health!

My dad & I laughed throughout this movie. We were in tears it was so funny. My dad was a huge Montreal Canadians fan and used to see all of the greats play. When we moved to the US we went to a lot of Houston Aeros hockey games. Gordie, Mark and Marty Howe were all on the team. We saw Gordie score his 800th goal. Even though my dad saw the best teams in pro hockey he said a Houston Aeros - Winnipeg game was the best he had ever seen. The Aeros were down 4-1 with just over a minute to go and they ended up beating Winnipeg in the most excited game ever. My dad and I loved Slap Shot and especially the Hanson Brothers! They added to the hilarity! Another hilarious show we laughed all the way through was Blazing Saddles. Our stomachs actually hurt from laughing so much. Both those shows were masterpieces. This program is so great with Steve Carlson talking about the way things were. All the best to him!

Glad to see you are doing well following your cancer treatment Steve. Thanks for the memories.

classic film. The scene where he was hit in the face with the keys and a few others were filmed at the onondaga county war memorial in Syracuse.

Some movies are overlooked when they come out. Some movies are like fine wine that get better with age. Slap Shot is one of those movies. Best wishes Steve!

God bless you, Steve. I didn't know about the room at the Arena. Will check it out next time I go through.

The Quebec adaptation is AWESOME! Curse words and all, it is a masterpiece this movie! I am only 26 years old but I grew up with my parents being staff during games in the local arena. When I found the VHS at 10, I would sneak it in my room to watch it with my friends, we had a blast swearing at each other like the Hansons!! Good memories!

"Ben on s'met du foil, ça protège les mains, en veux-tu ?" Quebec version is a classic.

Real life fun fact , my dad worked security for the filming of the movie ! My mom and me as a baby were part of the crowd during filming ! For years my dad had his pay stub from the movie . Heard Newman was a really nice guy and treated people well !

Hello Steve my family and I are so glad you are now healthy. My son Brandon and I had the privilege to meet you. Jeff and Dave at a Chiefs game years ago. I’m very glad that I got a chance to speak to you and get your autographs. I even remember attending the Lockhart Cup final in 1975. Where the Johnstown Jets won the Championship! Keep slapping the stick to the vulcanized rubber!! Take Care & God Bless! Jim Fox, Johnstown, PA

So glad I hat the chance to meet them when they came over to Germany. They visited our city for their show on our ice. The party later was great . I still have these pictures done with them that evening.. best wishes for you Mr. Carlsson, thank you so much for this great movie, still laughing.. Take care

He has a good memory.

Love it! Watch it now and again. Great movie.

Old time hockey all time classic!! ❤👍🇺🇸

Love this movie and these gents. Add to the fact it was filmed in my native state of Pennsylvania!! Old time hockey never dies!!🇺🇸🇨🇦

Met Steve and the other 2 guys at a Charlotte Checkers game about 10 years ago. Nice guys and very funny.

“Ok guys, show us what you got!” 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I enjoyed every second of that! Wonderful memories.

Brilliant. I loved this film back in the day. Who would have thought Paul Newman of all the great American film stars would have done a movie like this. The Hansons made this film. We love this in the UK.

To say you worked with Paul”Cool hand Luke”Newman is an honour that many would give their right arm. To work with him on the most iconic hockey movie of all time, unreal! Thanks for this sir, as a Canadian this movie is in our fabric. “Fuck Eddie Shore!” 👊🏾✊🏽👌🏾🤘🏾

Thanks Steve! Awesome. Slap Shot is the best hockey movie ever made!

Good for you Steve! Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment while growing up and watching Slap Shot over and over again.

Hope you stay healthy. One of the best 70’s comedies ever made.

I've seen this movie sooo many times and I still die laughing when the organist gets nailed with the puck. It was awesome to meet the trio at my local arena as a kid. Still have their signed photo on my wall

Memories of the greatest hockey movie ever ! Glad to hear you are doing better ! Thanks for the trip down memory lane 👍

Best movie ever! Great video. Thanks for the memories Steve. Much love to you

Thank you Steve! This was awesome!!

Saw the Hanson brothers years ago at a Tampa Bay Lightning game when they were touring NHL Arenas. They had already done their schtick "water skiing" behind the Zamboni between periods. I went up to concession stand during next period and the Lightning rep was walking the three of them around the concourse to wherever it was they were supposed to go. I yelled over to them "HEY, I'll buy you guys a soda after the game" and right away they shot back "Yeah, but none of that stinkin' root beer". Funny stuff...

They called us names!

Slapshot...My ultimate favorite movie...My hometown Hornepayne NW Ontario is where Goldie Goldthorpe grew up and played hockey...He was the inspiration for Ogie Ogilthorpe in the movie. Also a little known fact...It was the first American movie translated in french in Quebec. No doubt that Yvon Barrette/Denis Lemieux and Yvan Ponton/Jean-Guy Drouin had something to do with that...They would've say something like " If you do the translation in France like usual, It will sound totally stupid " In Quebec, Hockey is way stronger than religion 👍👍

Absolutely fantastic movie

Stay well... stay well.. loved Slap shot

Steve, I love it when you and your brothers are playing with the slot car track in the hotel room. Bringing the toys on the road!

So many memories in the War Memorial and the pro shop. Ziggy was a great person and supporter of youth hockey.

I own the 25th anniversary video! I primarily watch the side where the three of you talk during the movie. I find it so funny

This was so so so good. Thanks Mr. Hansen

One of my all-time favorite films. It's authenticity is a treasure in today's world of CGI and extreme hyperbole. My prayers are with you concerning your battle with cancer.

Take care Bother!!! Stay safe and stay healthy!!!! God bless and thank you for a great movie!!!!

This was so cool! Quite the trip down memory lane. I need to watch the movie again.

Met the guys in the blue seats at Msg back in 1995… they toured the seats in full uniform with the foil on!!.. I screamed old time hockey.. I don’t remember who responded but one screamed Eddie shore!!!… all three guys were great… greatest shift in hockey history!

I loved this movie! I have a special place in my heart for Johnstown. My mom is from there. And…..John Daley former general manager of the Chiefs is my uncle.

i didnt know he had cancer its awesome he beat it

Awesome video! Thank you for the tour and awesome to see you doing well.

I have read interviews where Paul Newman talked about how much he loved making this movie.

God Bless you Steve!

I was there at the war memorial in SYR, during the filming!! The keys! I ran into Mr Newman at the long beach ca indy car grand prix many years later and we had a few moments to talk about how much fun he had making that film. One of the best moments of my life. Thank you Steve! Huge props and prayers to you and your family!!

This is the way to do a filming location! Thank you Steve!

Best movie ever!!! It's been a huge part of my life. So much laughter and so many great lines. It will always be big in my life "like a horse " 🤣😜. Anyone who doesn't love this all time best well...they're " just scrappin ". I think I'll watch it right now as a matter of fact. Best of health #17 🏒🍻🇨🇦✌️

I grew up in Rome. NY which is next to Utica NY and we used to go and see the Mohawk Valley Comets games. There is one scene in the movie where is was shot at the Utica War Memorial Auditorium. Slap Shot really captured what semi-pro hockey was like in the 70"s. It's now the Utica Comets and the place is the Adirondack Bank Center.

Best Hockey Movie ever!

So I’m watching the video with my parents. They grew up in johnstown. At the end during the movie trailer when Paul Newman comes up the middle woman is my aunt!!!! No one in the family ever knew. All these years. Great movie and great town.

He looks great for his age. His neck and face look very young.

Great video , thank you for making it! That guy is awesome hopefully the cancer is gone for ever !

❤ the Hanson brothers!

I remember the first time I saw the movie as a kid in my home country of Finland, it was in the late-1970's or early-1980's. Me, my brother, our dad and our friends gathered around the TV to watch the movie; we laughed out loud with tears in our eyes, it was so much fun! 😂 Our mom did not appreciate all the noise and screaming in our apartment building flat. Those moments will never return again but I am happy to have experienced them. So thanks again for all the wonderful memories of Slapshot, best regards! 🏒🏆🥊💥🇫🇮

Saw these guys on set of Slapshot 3 The Jr. Years... I was an extra just sitting watching hockey. Got to see Leslie Neilson too.

Great movie. Nice job showing us the inside of making the movie.

many blessings steve
