You’ve all seen Slap Shot right? It’s easily one of the greatest hockey movies
ever. And if you’re from the Boston area and love hockey, you’ve got to know
about the ‘Charlestown Chiefs’ of the Federal League! Well, the Boston Bruins just picked up
Christian Hanson off of free agency.
You must be thinking, “Wait… Hanson, Slap Shot, is this
what I think it is!?”
Yes, the Boston Bruins signed the son of Dave Hanson, who
was one of the Hanson Brothers in the movie, Slap Shot. EPIC MOVE CHIARELLI!
EPIC MOVE!
Not really though, the 26 year old Hanson has yet to play a
full season in the NHL… but he has been able to have 20-30 point seasons in the
AHL. The 228 lb, 6’4” Hanson will
probably stay on the Providence Bruins for the entire 2012-2013 season but
we’ll see where this goes. I just think
if this guy ever gets called up to the big squad, he’s going to a cult
hero. Bostonian hockey fans love the
movie Slap Shot. This kid is practically Boston royalty even if he doesn’t
score a single goal with the B’s this year.
Hanson’s contract is worth $600,000 for one year.

But hey! Chiarelli did something! At least we know that
Peter Chiarelli is still alive… Now it’s
time to buckle down and sign a difference-maker or two. C’mon Petey Boy!
