SHARE Hanson Brothers bring ‘Slap Shot’ to the suburbs

David Hanson, Steve Carlson and Jeff Carlson in “Slap Shot.”

Those aren’t 3-D glasses on the guys introducing “Slap Shot” this weekend at a couple of suburban theaters.

They’re just the regular oversized specs of the Hanson Brothers, the stunted, hot-tempered trio of hockey players from the 1977 Paul Newman classic “Slap Shot.” The actors who played them — Dave Hanson, Steve Carlson and Jeff Carlson — will present the movie Friday and Sunday at Hollywood Boulevard in Woodridge and Saturday at Hollywood Palms in Naperville.
