Cast

  Paul Newman as Reg Dunlop

The Chiefs' player/coach that is deperately trying to win back his estranged wife, Francine, while turning his lackluster, third-rate hockey team into winners. Famous for his jacked up muscle car and his stunning wardrobe, Reg twists with his players psyches and gets them to win by fighting.     Filmography
Michael Ontkean as Ned Braden

As the Chiefs star player, Ned is faced with the dilemna of either gooning it up like the rest of the team or getting benched. He chooses the latter. A Princeton graduate with All-Eastern honors, Ned is the team intellectual and "doesn't believe a word of that Florida shit."     Filmography
Strother Martin as Joe McGrath

Best known for fashion shows, radiothons and recycling used jockstraps, Joe McGrath is the tightwad GM of the Chiefs. His hobbies include teaching English as a second language to exchange students at the local community college and dressing up in chick's clothes.     
Filmography
Jerry Houser as Dave "Killer" Carlson

A soft-spoken player that will drop the gloves at the drop of a hat when challenged. He is also a major proponent of the Swami Baha, a preacher of positive thinking. He uses the Swami's techniques to transport himself into a state of oneness where nothing matters but beating the crap out of his opponent.     Filmography

Yvon Barrette as Denis Lemieux

The unorthodox, crazy goaltender of the Chiefs, he is one of the bright spots on a pathetic roster. He has a habit of butchering the English language and a severe allergy to those fucking fans.     Filmography
Lindsay Crouse as Lily Braden

The alcoholic wife of Ned Braden whose two best friends are Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. She is fed up with the hockey life and drinks her misery away. Her best two lines are, "What's the story with that dog?" and "Yeah? Well normal is fucked."

Brad Sullivan as Morris Wanchuk

Stephen Mendillo as Jim Ahern

Low key member of the Chiefs. Has a habit of correcting Denis Lemieux's butchering of the English language.     Filmography

Assistant captain of the Chiefs that cannot speak a lick of English. Mostly a fill-in character with not much dialogue.     Filmography
Paul D'Amato as Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken

Christopher Murney as Tommy Hanrahan

Goalie for the Long Island Ducks that has a dyke for a wife. Does that make him a fag?     Filmography

Center for the Hyannisport Presidents, Brophy is a great minor character who was a real hockey player in the '70's along with many others from the film. Check out his career stats courtesy of hockeydb.com.

A "lard ass" according to Reg Dunlop, Barclay was the catalyst for Dave Carlson's transformation into "Killer" by insulting Reg in a pre-face off discussion.

The Chiefs back-up goalie that suffered from a severe case of ass splinters as he never saw a minute of ice time. He was a goalie for the Johnstown Jets at the time of filming. Check out his stats courtesy of hockeydb.com.
Guido Tenesi as Billy Charlesbois

The narcissistic Chiefs defenseman that hails from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Appears in almost all of his scenes in the company of the Sparkle Twins, but never speaks a word in the entire movie. He was also a real life hockey player. Check out his stats courtesy of hockeydb.com.
Jean Rosario Tetreault as Andre Bergeron

Another pro hockey player recruited for the movie. He doesn't have any lines, but appears throughout the movie, and is known by most as the guy that takes out his dentures and puts them in a glass. Check out his stats courtesy of hockeydb.com.
Ned Dowd As Ogie Ogilthorpe

A criminal element that started the season with the Lancaster Gears and then unexplainedly finished the year with the Syracuse Bulldogs. Maybe the attempted deportation had something to do with it, but we're just guessing. Ned Dowd also played for the Johnstown Jets and is the brother of Nancy Dowd, the writer of Slap Shot.      Stats     Filmography
Mark Bousquet as Andre "Poodle" Lussier

Player for the Syracuse Bulldogs that was brought out of semi-seclusion in Northern Quebec to face the Chiefs in the championship game of the Federal League.

Janet and Louise Arters as The Sparkle Twins

The hottest groupies in the Federal League, the Sparkle Twins are known for their blonde hair and generous bosoms.
Matthew Cowles as Charlie Kischel

Chiefs trainer that is Picasso-like with a needle and thread. The only major complaint the players seem to have with him is not using any Downy when he washes the jerseys.
Cliff Thompson as Walt Comisky

Bus driver for the Chiefs that has a mean streak. He is famous for taking a sledgehammer to the team bus and for sporting a Nazi helmet on road trips.
Barbara Shorts as Bluebird

The last girl on the pinwheel of the Ice Stravaganza that is rumored to have slept with Ogie Ogilthorpe.

As of press time, this has still been unconfirmed.
Nancy Dowd as Andrea

One of the player's wives. Her last name is never explicitly stated, but we assume she is the wife of Yvon Lebrun even though she states the name "Jerry" in the context of her husband. A 14 page paper has been submitted to the Journal of Slap Shot Scientifica to support our claim.  
Gracie Head as Pam

Another player's wife. We assume her to be the wife of Jim Ahern based on evidence from the film.
Dan Belisle Jr. as the Lancaster stickboy

Stickboy for the Chiefs in Lancaster.

Can you remember his only line about Ogie Ogilthorpe?

"He's not playing, he's suspended."
Larry Block as Peterboro Referee

Referee that got in Steve Hanson's grill during the National Anthem in Hyannisport and was soon given an earful. One of the finer portrayals of a hockey referee in this writer's humble opinion.
