Hockey Player

The Resume

    (April 12, 1954- )
    Born in Cumberland, Wisconsin
    Played 136 games in the WHA and NHL
    Portrayed Jack Hanson in 'Slap Shot' (1977)

Why he might be annoying:

    Twenty-five years after making 'Slap Shot,' he appeared in a direct-to-video sequel.
    He only got to be a Hanson brother when Jack Carlson (brother of Steve and Jeff Carlson, who portrayed the other two Hansons) became unavailable after being called up by the Minnesota Fighting Saints for the WHA playoffs.
    He racked up over 2,000 penalty minutes during a 10-year minor and major league career.
    His stint in the NHL lasted only 33 games.

Why he might not be annoying:

    'Slap Shot' star Paul Newman said of him and the other Hanson Brothers, 'They were very professional and completely crazy.'
    He makes over three dozen appearances a year at conventions and minor league hockey games as a Hanson brother.
    He was so convincing, many people are surprised to find he is not related to the other two Hanson brothers (Steve and Jeff Carlson).
    His son became a hockey center for Notre Dame who 'doesn't fight much.'
