Slap Shot 3: The Junior League is a sports comedy film released in 2008 and directed by Richard Martin. It is the third installment in the Slap Shot film series and is a sequel to the 1977 classic Slap Shot. The film is set around minor league ice hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs, who are struggling to stay afloat financially. In an effort to save the team from folding, the Chiefs' owner, former player and coach Reggie Dunlop (played by Steve Carlson), decides to recruit youngsters from the local youth hockey league to form a new team, the Charlestown Chiefs Junior B squad.
Dunlop becomes the new coach of the young team, and soon discovers that coaching teenagers is tougher than he imagined. The team initially struggles to win games, but through Dunlop's leadership and the recruitment of three tough, talented players from other teams - The Hanson Brothers (played by Carlson, Jeff Carlson, and David Hanson) - the Junior B team begins to dominate their opponents with a rough-and-tumble style of play.
At the same time, Dunlop's professional and personal relationships begin to unravel. He clashes with the team's overbearing parent boosters, including the mother of their star player, who has her own agenda for the team. Meanwhile, Reggie tries to rekindle a romance with his ex-wife, Francine (played by Leslie Carlson).
The film is known for its humorous and action-packed sequences on the ice, with the slapstick fighting and hard-hitting antics of the Hanson Brothers stealing the show. The film also focuses on the experience of youth hockey players and the competitive and sometimes cutthroat world of hockey parents.
Overall, Slap Shot 3: The Junior League is an entertaining comedy that captures the spirit of the original film while adding its own unique twist to the story. It is a fun and fast-paced sports comedy that will appeal to fans of both the original movie and ice hockey fans in general.
