Trivia
Though decried by much of the NHL upon release - many league higher ups felt fans would lump the brawl-filled 1970s NHL with the brawl-filled minor league featured in the film - the movie is still a staple on NHL buses and team charters. It's not uncommon for NHL players born years after the movie's release to name it as their favorite movie. In locker rooms, players refer to reporters who write an untrue rumor with conviction as "Dickie Dunn."

Shortly after the film opened, the Jets had to suspend operations for one season because a flood damaged their ice-making equipment. After a final year as the Johnstown Red Wings, the franchise was idled in 1980. It was eventually revived in 1987 as the Johnstown Chiefs.

The swearing in the film, by 1977 standards, was considered so foul, advertisements contained an additional warning underneath the R-rating: "Certain language may be too strong for children."

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 a quarter to four, fifteen minutes before the interview was supposed to air.

In the 1st game of the movie there is a shot of the Chiefs bench laughing at the drunk player who accidentally urinates himself. In that shot, you see a Cheifs player that 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.
