Fans

Three Syracuse Crunch season ticket holders dress as the Hanson Brothers from the movie Slap Shot for each and every Crunch home game. And sometimes during a stoppage of play, if there is a man in the opposing penalty box, one of the three will get out of their seat when the theme to Bonanza begins and proceed to travel around the main row on the ice level and crash into the penalty box seemingly as a taunt to the other team.
