Steve Carlson - One of the Hanson Brothers from 'Slapshot'

Cancer In The Room

Joining Bryn Griffiths and Dave Jamieson on this edition of 'Cancer In The Room' is Slap Shot's Steve Carlson.

STEVE
Steve Carlson played in the World Hockey Association from 1975 to 1979 and then shifted over to the National Hockey League for the 1979–80 season. But Steve really gained cultural notoriety in the 70's when he appeared in the movie 'Slap Shot' as one of the three Hanson Brothers. Steve was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2021, and has received incredible support from his wife Vicki plus the massive Hanson Brothers fanbase throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Steve is overwhelmed and extremely grateful for the support and treasures every day that he has now. Putting on the foil.

BRYN and DAVE
Just a couple of sportscasters from Canada who’ve dealt with cancer, beaten it back and now push forward living the best life possible. They can’t say it’s been easy, because it hasn’t been. But they’ve kept a great attitude and now continue to surge along doing things they love- including talking about sports. Bryn lost his whole stomach to cancer while Dave dealt with throat cancer. But here they are… both trying to do something positive, to shine a light on the sports people who’ve taken on cancer, getting right back to a regular lifestyle.

WHY THIS PODCAST?
We recognize not every cancer story has a happy ending, but there are many people who’ve survived the dark days, amazingly have come out smiling, realizing there’s still lots of life ahead of them! PLUS they’re more than happy to share their story and their sports career with you. We both want this podcast to be where you see hope, positivity and many more things.
