• The film's plot is based on the book by Adam Frattasio and Doug Smith "The Enforcer: A True Story of a Hockey Goon's Incredible Journey Through the Minor Leagues." The end credits of the film play against footage showing Smith in hockey games.
• In preparing for the role of Doug Glatt, actor Sean William Scott had to gain muscle mass and train in skating and applying body checks on the ice.
• The actor Ricky Mabey, who played John Stevenson, trained under the guidance of a professional hockey player. He actually filmed an episode in which a body check was used against his character and even sustained an injury.
• The episode where Doug scores a goal with his rear end happened in real life. It happened in 2000 to Doug Mann, a player for the Columbus Cottonmouths. The goal scored in this manner allowed Mann's team to advance to the finals.
• The film's plot is based on the book "Penalty Box: A True Story of Hockey, Heroism, and Tragedy" by Adam Frattasio and Doug Smith. The end credits of the film are shown against footage of Smith in hockey games.
