In some ways, Ned Braden was the least interesting character of the Charlestown Chiefs, but without his straight man persona, the film would have run the risk of getting into a territory whereby it would have been more Slap Stick than Slap Shot. Braden was not just the intellectual counter to the rest of the team, but the physical one as he refused to “goon” it up with the rest of team. As we stated, it wasn’t a fun role, but it was a necessary one.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Slap Shot (1977)
Actor:
Michael Ontkean
Position Portrayed:
Centre
Played for:
Charlestown Chiefs
Why you should vote for him:
This is actually a legit choice for consideration from this film.
Why you should not vote for him:
To this day, the scene of Braden stripping on the ice is still baffling.
