Doug "The Thug" Smith

2025-05-0845:03

This week Adam talks with Doug “The Thug” Smith, the real-life inspiration behind the movie Goon. Doug shares his incredible journey from never skating as a kid to becoming a professional hockey enforcer, thanks to grit, boxing skills, and a supportive friend who helped tell his story in the book Goon. The conversation dives into Doug’s late start in hockey, his balancing act between law enforcement and pro fighting, and how Hollywood came knocking. It’s a raw, honest look at chasing unlikely dreams—and punching through every obstacle.

Raging Gun

Hey. Do you Remember Mike Melnyk? he was a Oklahoma Warrior in 2005. Then he went to prison for Assault, for basically murdering a guy in Calgary, Alberta. He didn't play hockey after that. However, the actual guilty dude who was responsible for that assault, for Mike going to prison, and for other attacks that happened which left people injured for life... the real criminal is goaltender Sean Connors. That dude is a psychopath who I grew up with in Okotoks Alberta. Sean Connors is the reason that I was assaulted when I was 16, when I was a prospect for the NY Rangers. I played hockey with Sean and Mike for AAA Airdrie Xtreme in 1998. That was the last year I played hockey. Those dudes assaulted me, then managed to cover up the crime.
