Artistic License Sports: Pretty much every instance of body contact shown would be an obvious interference penalty.Aluminum Christmas Trees: Since there hasnt been one for about 35 years many younger viewers are likely unaware that Player-Coaches used to be quite common, especially for a low level minor league team like the Chiefs.This film contains examples of the following tropes: In a side plot, one of the "clean" players, Ned Braden, is on the verge of losing his wife due to her displeasure with their lifestyle. This decision splits the team between players who enjoy some good rough-housing on the ice, and those who prefer a "clean" style of playing. Reggie Dunlop (Newman), a veteran player and the Chiefs' coach, decides to retool the team around the brothers after their aggressive and violent play excites the fans. But then the team picks up the Hanson Brothers, three childlike young men who play the roughest hockey the team has ever seen (played by three real-life minor league hockey players). With a losing record, a lack of popularity, and the fact that the town's steel mill - a main local job provider - is closing, the team seems doomed to be folded after the season. The Charlestown Chiefs are a minor league hockey team in the Federal League.
