Entrusted with aggressively protecting his teammates from tough guys on the opposing team, he punched, elbowed and cross-checked his way up the ranks of minor league hockey to win a championship ring and the respect of his community. His entertaining underdog story is the subject of the cult-classic motion picture <i>Goon</i> (2011) and its sequel <i>Goon: Last of the Enforcers</i> (2017).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Smith was an enforcer, the kind of swaggering tough guy hockey teams bring on the ice to protect their star players and strike fear into the hearts of their opponents."--<i>Grantland</i>; "Gives details of every hockey fight he ever got into...loved reading about Smith's experiences as the wide-eyed average guy, playing in front of large crowds and tussling with some of the toughest men from the 1990s."--<i>Puck Junk</i>.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Doug Smith</b> has worked as a police officer in Massachusetts for more than two decades and as an assistant coach for the three-time state-champion Hanover High School hockey team. He lives in Halifax, Massachusetts. <b></b><b>Adam Frattasio</b> is an adult education teacher and author of <i>Steroid Man: Confessions of a Powerlifter from the Golden Age of Enhancement</i> (McFarland, 2016). His first book, <i>GOON: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey</i>, was adapted into the motion picture <i>GOON</i> and a sequel, <i>GOON: Last of the Enforcers.</i>
