It was Ned Dowd’s minor league hockey career that apparently inspired his sister, Nancy to pen what would be an instant sports classic, Slap Shot. Ned was cast as Ogie Oglethorpe, the goon that scared goons. It wasn’t a huge role, but we just couldn’t leave a character named Ogie Oglethorpe off our ballot.
