Slap Shot

Shows how a burned-out hockey coach (Paul Newman) suddenly gains fame and fortune when he recruits some new players who will stop at nothing to win.

Player-coach Reggie Dunlop lets the Hanson Brothers, the club's recent acquisitions, loose on their opponents. The Hanson Brothers' actively violent and thuggish style of play excites the fans. The team's new style produces unintended consequences that affect the Chiefs' star player, Ned Braden, along with the rest of the team. The owner plans to fold the team as a tax write-off.
