The Wild Johnstown Jets – Sports Bizarre
Manage episode 404399559 series 3370472
In 1977, the movie Slap Shot starring Paul Newman was released about the crazy exploits of a fictional minor league ice hockey team.
The plot was so unbelievable the movie flopped but later became a sports classic, partly because all the crazy stories in it were based on a real team, the Johnstown Jets.
All the characters in the movie were based on real people, like the three Hanson Brothers, (not the musicians) and their arch-nemesis Bill “Goldie” Goldthorpe.
They fought each other, the referees and the fans.
This is the story of the Johnstown Jets, one of the strangest teams of all time.
