GOON will be available on-demand February 24th and in theaters starting March 30th from Magnet Releasing.
Doug Glatt, (Seann William Scott) the black sheep of an illustrious medical family is working as a bouncer when he gets roped into going to a local hockey team's game by his hockey fanatic pal, Pat (Jay Baruchel). When Pat incites the opposing team's enforcer to climb out of the penalty box and into the audience after him, Doug steps in and to everyone's surprise, especially the local team's coach, quickly puts the player down.
He is invited to a tryout with the team and after basically taking on and creaming most of his future team mates after they tease him about his unrefined skating abilities, he is taken aboard. He eventually acquires a modicum of skill while crushing every opposing goon in the league. This attracts the attention of the Halifax Highlanders, the cellar dwellers in a league another rung higher in the hockey universe. They desperately need a goon to protect their star player, Laflamme (Marc Andre Grondin), who has been sent down from the big show, having lost his nerve after a brutal altercation with a goon named Ross Rhea (Liev Schreiber). Laflamme's succumbed to drinking and carousing instead of getting his mojo back and the Highlanders feel the only way to kickstart his recovery is to get him his own body guard. They trade for Doug and a very odd couple is born.
