Many of the Slap shot scenes were done at the Utica Memorial Auditorium in Utica, NY. The scene where the brothers went into the crowd actually did happen at a game with Mohawk Valley Comets against the Johstown Jets (Chiefs in the movie) at the Utica Aud. Utica Police responded and a great photo was taken by the Utica Observer Dispatch which I saw hanging in their Office area in the 80’s.
$6.00 at ticket and my wife and I never missed a game.
I thought Slap Shot was filmed in Pennsylvania? Where John Murtha was congressman?
That’s what they told us was the rally spot!
