Hawerchuk Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 A very nice gesture by the team and mgmt. Here is the article. Paul Newman Honored For 'Slap Shot' Role Arena Hanging Banner Celebrating Classic Film POSTED: 2:20 pm PDT October 7, 2008 SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The No. 7 that Paul Newman wore as Reg Dunlop in the classic 1977 hockey comedy "Slap Shot" is going to the rafters of the Syracuse War Memorial. The Syracuse Crunch announced Tuesday that the team will pay tribute to the late actor by raising a banner before Saturday's American Hockey League game against the Rochester Americans. The banner will stay there for the entire season. Crunch president Howard Dolgon said it's appropriate Newman's legacy should be recognized and honored in the arena where parts of the legendary movie were filmed. Newman died last month at age 83 after a battle with cancer. A video tribute to Newman's role in "Slap Shot" will be shown during the ceremony. http://www.fox5vegas.com/sports/17646059/d...mp;psp=sports#- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Nice gesture by the Chiefs. If I had some extra $$ to spare I might invest in a Charlestown Chiefs #7 jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
