Happy Tuesday!
We dug into our archives for today’s featured photo, which was taken at Powell River Recreation Complex 25 years ago today. The Hanson brothers, from the 1977 film Slap Shot, proved they were as popular in 1997 as they were when they first appeared in the movie. The classic characters, portrayed by David Hanson and brothers Steve and Jeff Carlson, played up to the crowd during the intermission of a Powell River Kings’ game. Were you there?
