Minnesota Nighthawks

The Minnesota Nighthawks were a fictitious ice hockey team in the movie Slap Shot. The team was supposed to be the new team that Charlestown Chiefs player-coach Reggie Dunlop was claiming to his estrange wife Francine to have been named the head coach for at the end of the movie during the teams championship parade in Charlestown, Pennsylvania. Based on the character's behavior during the rest of the movie, it is unclear if the job is legitimate. Based on the level that the Chiefs league was at it is unclear if it is a higher level minor league or if it is a major league (NHL)
