You are assuming facts not in evidence. Are you sure they are referring to the Chicago Blackhawks? Read the script a little more closely---"And I gotta play this weekend, Doc"---Steve Remo is a football player.
Read the first line Hockey Player Steve Remo. " Hockey Player STEVE REMO, 33, is a big man in a small bed."
The movie used real teams aka Cardinals which is the team Rod Tidwell played for. He was an agent for all athletes not just football players. Also I think they play hockey games on the weekend.
Maybe we should ask others on this forum who is wrong and who is right.
