Goofs

During the Charlestown/Hyannisport game, #7 of Hyannisport (former Minnesota Wild coach Bruce Boudreau), is shown on the ice, celebrating a goal. In the next shot, which is a line change, #7 is shown leaving the bench to go onto the ice.

In the opening sequences introducing the players, Ned Braden can be seen wearing blue gloves as he stands by the boards. When he skates out for the introduction, he is wearing old brown gloves. When the next player is introduced, he can be seen wearing new matching blue gloves again.

When the Hansons first take the ice, the drink can on Jim Carr's (announcer) desk changes from Fanta to Coca Cola and back again several times.

In the opening hockey match, a Chiefs player is shown taking a slap shot, which appears to strike the sliding opposing defender in the groin. There then is a cut which shows a Chiefs playing writhing in pain from a groin injury.

Reggie Dunlop leaves a tavern to go record a radio interview. When he leaves the bar, he announces that the interview will air on the radio later that day at four o'clock. During the interview, he states that he will offer a "bounty" for the first Chiefs player to assault the other team's captain on the ice in the upcoming game. After the interview, Dunlop goes home and tries to get some sleep. He listens to his own interview on the radio, including the remark about the bounty. After he turns off the radio and tries to go to bed to have a nap, the clock on his bedside table reads ten to four, 10 minutes before the interview was supposed to air.

When Killer goes after Donaldson after he tells Dunlap he's too old, he charges into him and breaks his stick over the side of Donaldson's neck. First, it would take a tremendous amount of impact for a stick to break, and, in addition, a blow like that would have broken Donaldson's neck.

When the goalie is being interviewed, he talks about going to the penalty box. Some have mistaken that he is talking about himself, as goalies never go to the penalty box, but he is, in fact, simply discussing the different kinds of penalties a hockey player can can receive for committing various infractions.

In the first game, there is a shot of the Chiefs' bench laughing at the drunk player who accidentally urinates himself. In that shot, there is a Chiefs player who isn't shown in the rest of the movie. Many people regard this as a movie error, but, in reality, it's not uncommon for a person to play only one game for a minor league hockey game.

At the bar many of the players are drinking Stroh's or Schlitz but in the next shot they're drinking Budweiser or Iron City Beer.

A variety of beers is available in area stores, and people often drink different beers.

While traveling on the team bus, many of the players are drinking Stroh's, while in the next shot they're drinking Budweiser.

Both beers are available in the area, and people often drink a variety of beer brands.

During the celebratory parade at the end, one of the musicians in the first school marching band is playing a French horn. Normally someone who plays French horn in a school concert band will play a "marching horn" in the marching band. A marching horn is a completely different instrument in that its bell faces forward, as opposed to the French horn's bell that faces to the rear.

"Normally" is NOT "always"; as such, this is not a Goof (though it may be considered "Trivia").

During the championship game, cardboard cutouts to fill in the "crowd" can be seen in the upper levels of the arena.

In one game, a shot shows one of the Hansons passing the puck (ultimately assisting on a goal), yet Dunlop had not yet allowed any of the Hanson brothers to play.

The alarm clock next to Reggie's bed is electric but the second hand is not moving, revealing that it's just a prop not plugged in (so that they wouldn't have to keep resetting it between takes).

When the Chiefs come back to the locker room between periods during the championship game, the Chiefs' goalie begins yelling, but his lips are not moving.

Just after the wives discuss the "Great Ideas of the World" set, Jean-Guy Drouin chases a player behind the net and when they come out the other side, a director in skates and a couple members of his crew can be seen on the ice in the corner of the rink.

A major plot point of the film is that the Chiefs are drawing almost nobody to their games, but the Hansons draw them in with their style of play when they start in games later on. However, during the game when the Hansons are allowed to play for the first time, the arena is full of screaming fans who cheer every move by the Hansons.

When the goalie is being interviewed, he illustrates various penalties with his stick. What he refers to as "spearing" is really the penalty "butt-ending." Spearing involves jabbing with the blade of the stick, while butt-handing is jabbing with the handle (knob) end of the stick.

During his radio interview in which he puts a bounty on opponent Tim McCracken, Reggie Dunlop incorrectly calls his own team the Charleston Chiefs instead of the Charlestown Chiefs.

During the opening hockey game sequence, when the drunk player on the opposing team gets checked into the boards, the players on the Chiefs bench laugh at him. There is one player on the Chiefs bench though who never appears in the movie again, and appears only for that one single shot in the film.

As Reggie Dunlop had done previously in his own radio interview, Killer Carlson refers to the Charlestown Chiefs incorrectly as the "Charleston Chiefs" to the same interviewer.
