The Hanson Brothers—Jeff, Jack, and Steve—are three unforgettable characters from the 1977 hockey comedy Slap Shot. Known for their wild antics, taped-up glasses, and rough, fearless playing style, they quickly became the movie’s most iconic trio and a staple in hockey pop culture.
The brothers were inspired by real-life minor league hockey players who were known for their chaotic, tough, and entertaining playing style. Their exaggerated behavior in the movie was based on stories from real locker rooms, bus rides, and on-ice scuffles—making them feel authentic and larger than life at the same time.
The actors who played the Hanson Brothers—Steve Carlson, Jeff Carlson, and Dave Hanson—were all real professional hockey players. Because of this, the on-ice action in the film looks far more realistic than typical sports movies. Their skating, physicality, and timing brought genuine hockey energy to every scene.
