The Norsemen's Wild Ride
How a One-Season Hockey Team Inspired the Greatest Hockey Movie Ever Made
In the pantheon of Buffalo hockey lore, no team burns brighter or briefer than the Buffalo Norsemen. They existed for exactly one season—1975-76—yet their story encompasses everything that made minor league hockey both magnificent and insane: overflow crowds, aging legends, young dreamers, financial chaos, controversy, and violence that would inspire Hollywood's most beloved hockey film.
This is the story of the Vikings who sailed into North Tonawanda with horned helmet logos and sailed out in disgrace, leaving behind a forfeit that became movie legend.
A Hockey-Hungry City
Buffalo in 1975 had a beautiful dilemma: too many hockey fans, not enough hockey seats. The Sabres had captured the city's heart, but getting tickets required either deep pockets, deeper connections, or the patience to camp out all night for orange section seats at Memorial Auditorium.
"People who wouldn't have bought Manhattan for $24 will stand in line all night and body check their mothers if necessary to purchase a ticket," observed Buffalo News Sports Editor Paul Moran Jr., capturing the fever that gripped Western New York.
Enter doctors Syde Taheri and Dudley Turecki, who saw opportunity in arithmetic. More hockey fans than hockey seats equals money waiting to be made. They announced the Buffalo Norsemen of the North American Hockey League with promotional bravado that would make P.T. Barnum proud.
The public response was overwhelming. A simple "name-the-team" contest generated over 4,000 entries. More than 100 season ticket requests arrived unsolicited, most from fans who didn't even ask about pricing. As Paul Moran Jr. noted: "Damn the price."
The team would play at the Tonawanda Sports Center, a 2,800-seat arena 12 miles north of Buffalo. It was supposed to be part of a grander vision—a three-rink complex with a 6,000-seat showpiece. But dreams cost money, and the big arena never materialized, leaving the team in quarters so cramped that visiting players routinely mocked the conditions.
Still, Paul Moran Jr.'s confidence was infectious: "The Norsemen can't miss, even if they try. They are bound to succeed simply by picking up the Sabres' overflow."
Famous last words.
Building a Team of Misfits and Legends
At the center was Guy Trottier, the 34-year-old player-coach from Hull, Quebec, who had terrorized AHL goalies as a Buffalo Bison. Trottier had tied the league goal record with 35 tallies in 1969-70, making him local hockey royalty. "Guy was a favorite with the fans when he played here in Buffalo," recalled GM Willie Marshall—himself a Hockey Hall of Fame legend who served as the bridge between the Bisons' glory days and this new Norse experiment.
The supporting cast read like a hockey fever dream:
Larry Gould led the offensive charge with 100 points (32 goals, 68 assists) in 71 games, making him one of the NAHL's top scorers. The brother of Sabres forward John Gould, Larry brought skill and family connections that lent the franchise credibility.
Steve Atkinson, a 26-year-old former Sabre, posted 61 points in just 37 games—a pace that would have led most professional leagues. The catch? He was frequently playing defense despite being a natural right winger, because the Norsemen were perpetually short of defensemen.
Claude Noël, just 19 years old from Kirkland Lake, Ontario, recorded 61 points in 74 games and represented the team's future potential. After the season, he'd try out for the Sabres but fail to make the cut. Undeterred, he'd eventually play one NHL game for Washington and later become an NHL coach with Columbus and Vancouver—making him arguably the Norsemen's most successful alumnus.
Charles LaBelle from Stratford, Ontario, contributed 59 points and would later become a central figure in the team's controversial demise. Paul Crowley, a 19-year-old from Montreal, added 60 points and 138 penalty minutes—the kind of skill-and-snarl combination that defined NAHL hockey.
Fred Hunt Jr., son of Buffalo Bisons legend Fred Hunt Sr., played 35 games and tallied 22 points, carrying on a family tradition that connected the old Bisons era to this new chapter in Buffalo hockey.
Even the backup plan was legendary. When things got desperate, GM Willie Marshall—the all-time AHL scoring leader—actually suited up for a game. Because nothing says "professional sports franchise" like your general manager grabbing a stick.
Between the Pipes: Les Binkley's Final Stand
In goal, the Norsemen found a living piece of hockey history in Les Binkley, the 41-year-old veteran who had backstopped the Pittsburgh Penguins during their expansion years in the late 1960s. Binkley was one of the original Penguins, playing 54 games in Pittsburgh's inaugural 1967-68 season and serving as their primary goaltender through their early NHL struggles.
By 1975, Binkley was in the twilight of his career, but he brought NHL credibility to a franchise that desperately needed it. His 11 wins for the Norsemen represented the final chapter of a career that had spanned the transformation of professional hockey from the Original Six era through expansion.
For fans who remembered watching Binkley face down the likes of Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull, seeing him between the pipes at the cramped Tonawanda Sports Center was both nostalgic and poignant—a reminder that hockey dreams don't always end in glory, but they can still end with dignity.
A Surprising Season
Despite their shoestring budget and subpar facilities, the Norsemen proved surprisingly competitive. They started slowly but caught fire late in the season with an incredible winning streak that propelled them into the playoffs. They finished 30-44, earning fourth place in the NAHL's Western Division and a playoff berth—no small feat for a first-year franchise.
At home, they created an intimate, raucous atmosphere that stood in stark contrast to the polished NHL experience. The breakthrough moment came in December when they demolished the Maine Nordiques 8-2, with Larry Gould earning first-star honors.
The team's promotional efforts were relentlessly creative. The City of North Tonawanda proclaimed "Buffalo Norsemen Week," complete with an official ceremony featuring local dignitaries and WKBW disc jockey Dan Neaverth at center ice.
The legitimacy of this traveling circus received an unexpected boost on September 26, 1975, when the NHL's Buffalo Sabres visited the Tonawanda Sports Center for an exhibition game. The meeting between major league and minor league neighbors was both symbolic and practical—it showed the hockey world that the Norsemen were more than just another failed startup. The game raised funds for SUNY-Buffalo scholarships and gave the new franchise instant credibility.
Special promotional nights at Memorial Auditorium featured "orange seat" pricing and tie-ins with Arthur Treacher's fish-and-chips restaurants. The "See the Other Hockey Team" campaign successfully leveraged Sabres mania into minor league curiosity.
But success bred its own problems. As the season progressed, tensions mounted with league officials. Player-coach Trottier, never one to bite his tongue, began publicly criticizing what he saw as preferential treatment for teams with higher attendance.
"There is apparently a conspiracy going on in the NAHL to get the Buffalo Norsemen out of the playoffs because our attendance is low," Trottier declared.
The league's response was swift and harsh. NAHL Commissioner Jack Timmins suspended Trottier indefinitely and fined him $1,000 for "conduct unbecoming a coach and detrimental to the league." GM Willie Marshall took over behind the bench.
The Playoffs That Ended Everything
In March 1976, the Norsemen faced the Johnstown Jets in the first round of the NAHL playoffs. What followed wasn't just a hockey series—it was the raw material for cinematic legend.
The Jets featured a trio of enforcers who would become household names: Jeff Carlson, Steve Carlson, and Dave Hanson. While not all related by blood, they functioned as a unit of controlled chaos that perfectly embodied the NAHL's anything-goes philosophy.
The series began at Memorial Auditorium (Johnstown's rink was occupied by a boat show), with the Norsemen winning 5-1. Game 2 went to Johnstown 6-4, but tensions escalated when a handful of Norsemen players remained on the ice to protest a late call. Johnstown fans hurled abuse and debris at the players, and Norsemen defenseman Greg Neeld—the one-eyed former Sabres draft pick—responded by throwing his stick into the stands, earning a two-game suspension.
Game 4 returned to the Tonawanda Sports Center and became what the Courier-Express called "a penalty-packed thriller." The first period alone featured 67 penalty minutes. According to Dave Hanson's book "Slap Shot Original," tensions reached a breaking point when Norsemen fans directed racist taunts at Johnstown's Black player Hank Taylor, with fans holding a sign that said Taylor should be playing basketball, not hockey.
As players left the ice after the Norsemen's 3-2 victory, Jets center Vern Campigotto began screaming at the suspended Neeld, who was sitting in street clothes with reporters: "Hey you one-eyed bastard, we're going to run you out of the building Saturday."
When Steve Carlson—who would later play one of the Hanson Brothers in "Slap Shot"—came off the ice and threw a punch at Neeld, chaos erupted. The punch missed Neeld and instead connected with Tonawanda News reporter Mike Billoni, sending his glasses flying.
"As I bent over to look for my glasses, a crowd of Johnstown players surrounded me," Billoni later wrote. "Fearing for my life, I grabbed a stick and started backing up."
But the real violence came during Game 5's pregame warmups in Johnstown. During the warmup, a full brawl erupted involving multiple players. Greg Neeld and Charles LaBelle were both hospitalized with injuries severe enough to require ambulance transport.
With two of his players leaving the arena in ambulances, Norsemen coach Guy Trottier refused to allow his team to take the ice. Officials started the game clock, and when the Norsemen failed to appear after five minutes, they forfeited both the game and the series.
"They brought in some goons to rough us up," GM Willie Marshall said afterward, while Johnstown police with K-9 units escorted the Norsemen to their bus.
That pregame skirmish was the last time the Buffalo Norsemen ever took the ice.
From Failure to Film History
Nancy Dowd was already working on a screenplay about minor league hockey when the Norsemen's season imploded. Her brother Ned played for the Johnstown Jets and witnessed the chaos firsthand, providing raw material that would become the backbone of "Slap Shot."
The fictional Charlestown Chiefs were based on the Jets. The notorious Hanson Brothers were inspired by Jeff Carlson, Steve Carlson, and Dave Hanson—who not only lived the real-life mayhem but would later star as themselves in the film.
The movie's iconic pregame brawl scene was lifted directly from the violence that ended the Norsemen. According to Dave Hanson, who played one of the Hanson Brothers: "It's not really acting because it's natural. Most of the things that go on might be exaggerated a little, but it has happened to us."
When "Slap Shot" began filming just weeks after the Norsemen's final game, many of the Jets players who had been involved in the real violence were cast as themselves. The line between reality and fiction became deliberately blurred, with the movie serving as both entertainment and inadvertent documentary of a specific moment in hockey history.
The Norsemen's white uniforms with green and gold trim even appeared in the film as the Hyannisport Presidents, ensuring that Buffalo's failed franchise would achieve immortality through Hollywood.
Ironically, the Johnstown Jets and the entire NAHL folded in 1977—the same year "Slap Shot" was released. The league that had provided the raw material for the greatest hockey movie ever made disappeared just as the film hit theaters, making the movie an inadvertent time capsule of a vanished era.
Epilogue: Legends in Their Own Time
The Buffalo Norsemen disbanded after searching unsuccessfully for new investors. Guy Trottier moved to Europe. Charles LaBelle became an accountant in St. Louis. Claude Noël eventually made the NHL as both player and coach. Les Binkley retired from professional hockey, his long career finally at an end.
But in failing spectacularly, the Norsemen achieved immortality.
Their story captures a unique moment in Buffalo hockey—between the Bisons era and the Sabres dynasty. Their Viking uniforms remain cult favorites among collectors, and their connection to "Slap Shot" ensures their place in hockey lore.
Today, nearly fifty years later, the Norsemen prove that sometimes failure creates a more lasting legacy than success. They came as Vikings seeking glory. They left as legends who didn't know they were legends yet.
The Buffalo Norsemen: too wild to survive, too good to forget.
"Old-time hockey!"

Terry Hunter: "The franchise, the building, and the attendance, was awful. I had season tickets, and there were fewer than 100 season ticket holders. Average attendance was around 750. A few things the author got wrong in this article. The team stated off the season hot, with the top line of Atkinson, Gould, and another fringe NHL’er, Bryan McSheffrey, leading the way. The team had one of the best records in the league into November, but then call-ups by the Toronto Toros of the WHA started hurting. December, January, and February were dismal months. Several players who were assigned to Buffalo by the Toros did not report. Willie Marshall was combing thru other minor leagues, and Sr. A hockey, for warm bodies. He even signed the aged Keke Mortson, a former enemy of the Buffalo Bisons AHL team, for the last dozen games of the season. A few players Toronto did send down, goaltender Mario Vien, and defenseman Greg Neeld, did help down the stretch, and Norsemen finished 4 points ahead of the Broome Dusters, for the last playoff spot in the division, but they still had the 3rd worst record in the league."
