About Goldie Goldthorpe

  • Bill "Goldie" (also "Harpo") Goldthorpe (born June 20, 1953) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey player.
  • He is best known as the inspiration for Ogie Ogilthorpe in the 1977 film Slap Shot.
  • Goldthorpe, a left winger, was a notorious hockey enforcer, a man once dubbed the "wildest, meanest, most unpredictable player in hockey." In his chequered eight-year career (1973–80, 83-84), Goldthorpe played for ten minor league teams and four World Hockey Association squads; along the way, he racked up 1,132 penalty minutes in just 194 professional games.
