There has been a lot of love for Bruce lately cause of how he was treated by the Canucks organization. But I just ground out that he was Hockey Player #7 in the move Slap Shot and I think more highly of him. Probably watch that movie tonight!

    I understand that they even shot a scene in Bruce’s actual apartment.

    Bruce grew up in Toronto, was drafted by the Leafs and scored his first NHL goal for Toronto against a certain goaltender named Jim Rutherford.. Randy Carlyle got the primary assist on the goal.

    As mentioned by a commenter, they used Bruce’s apartment as Dunlop’s residence throughout the movie as well! Very cool

    Slap shot is a great movie…. I forgot Bruce was in the movie! Great guy met him in Columbus years ago…also met the Hanson brothers at a card show in Houston

    He was an absolute star in the AHL as well. Cherry (I think it was Cherry) talks about him in one book and either alludes to, or comes outright and says, that Bruce may have liked to party more than he wanted to make the NHL.

    That’s from the depths of a foggy memory so FWIW
