Interesting to read in the Wheat King press release below that the movie "Goon" will be doing some filming at tomorrow night's Wheat Kings/Warriors game both before and during the game.  
 
I'm told that they'll be filming on-ice scenes during pre-game as well as shots of the crowd entering the building... as well as crowd shots during the game itself.  
 
In one description of the movie I've read online, it was described as a "really violent “Happy Gilmore,” with a little “Die Hard” and “The Last Boy Scout” thrown in for good measure."  
 
The biggest name in the movie is Seann William Scott. No word if "Stiffler" himself will be at the game.
