Hansons Come Home

There is no doubt that the Hanson Brothers are the greatest trio in the greatest hockey movie ever.

We all still find ourselves repeating those same lines from the movie that was made 30 years ago and we all wish could go back to the War Memorial and just watch the Hansons and the rest of the Chiefs terrorize the federal league with their antics.

Well, December 22 is the closet that anyone is going to get to that when the Hansons return to the Cambria County War Memorial to sign autographs when the Johnstown Chiefs take on the Cincinnati Cyclones.

This is the actual arena that the movie was shot in. This legendary arena is a hike from the east coast, about 6 hours from Philadelphia. But just think about it... you could say you met the Hansons at the War Memorial during a Chiefs game. Not many people will be able to say that.

It's great that the trio embrace their role as hockey legends and make public appearances in character. Now if we can only get Paul Newman to stop making salad dressing and salsa and come out to the War Memorial as Reg Dunlop.

I think a train ticket to Johnstown would be the perfect gift for any die hard hockey fan.
