Episode 114: “The Real Goon” with Doug Smith In this episode of the 1973 Podcast, we sit down with the legendary Doug Smith — the man whose wild, unforgiving hockey career inspired the cult classic film Goon. Doug takes us behind the scenes of life as an enforcer, sharing the raw, unfiltered stories from the ice that you won’t find in any movie script. We talk about his rise through the hockey ranks, the brutal realities of dropping the gloves night after night, and what it was like to see his life turned into a feature film. Doug also opens up about life after hockey, the brotherhood of the enforcers, and his thoughts on how the game has changed. Whether you're a die-hard hockey fan or just love a good underdog story, this is one episode you won’t want to miss. Available now wherever you get your podcasts.
