The goon of Slapshot, Ogie Ogilthorpe, was quite the character, but so was the man that he was inspired by. Here's the crazy, but true story of the real Ogie Ogilthorpe...Bill Goldthorpe.
So what are your Top 10 hockey movies ? Me personally. 1. Slapshot. 2. Young blood. 3. The Mighty Ducks. 4. Mystery Alaska. 5. Miracle. 6. The Russian Five. 7. Net Worth. 8.The Rocket. 9.Goon. 10. Hockey Night.
@@tudormiller887 Youngblood is so hard to find. I grew up in the 90's and it was always on TV and we owned the VHS. I had the DVD in around 2008, but I moved so many times. It is never on any streaming. Even hockey films that are not a masterpiece still have nostalgic fun to them
I’ve seen Slapshot hundreds of times and I knew Ogie was based on someone…how did it take me this long to see this?!? I love the stick boy’s only line “He’s not playin’, he’s suspended.”
Having witnessed Bill Goldthorpe playing junior hockey in Thunder Bay and following from a distance his hockey after that, the "Slapshot" version ( aka Ogie) was pretty meek and mild compared to the real deal.
“Would’ve. put me on the map.” 😂🤣 Something tells me he’s still alive now bc it didn’t. Kid like that wouldn’t be able to handle success of that magnitude.
'HI-buy you a soda after the game?' 'oge torpe?' 'Trade me fight fkn now'. They brought their fkn toys with them'. 'Scouts?' 'You can't put a bounty on a man's head...' 'I'll get you you little prekk'. 'here i circled the fk words for you'. slapshot-funniest fkn movie ever.
please don't stop with ogie/goldie. Next video should be on the guy who played ogie, ned dowd i think his name was. Nearly every character, actor and event in slap shot is worth a video
no, hacksaws were just readily available, like fire extinguishers. never know when you're gonna have to amputate some limbs. it was a different time. mcdonalds was full of cig smoke, cars were tanks, kids played outside, etc... & hacksaws, lots of hacksaws.
This guy is from Horn Payne, northern Ontario???? My step mother is from there. It’s a town of about 20 people. I mean that literally. They must know one another, lol.
His “real” movie name was Ogilthorpe, however the Charleston Chiefs’ goalkeeper in the movie was from a French-speaking part of Canada. With his movie accent, he was unable to pronounce Ogilthorpe, hence we have Ogiltorpe . Slap Shot was filmed in my hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The cast stayed at local hotels and ate at local restaurants. During the filming a number of people that I have known would talk about going into a bar for a beer and meeting Paul Newman there. From everything I’ve heard he was very friendly and outgoing with people who approached him. BTW, the football movie All the Right Moves, which starred (a very young) Tom Cruise, Lea Thompson, and Craig T. Nelson was also filmed in Johnstown a few years after Slap Shot.
