BOSTON, MA- You may have seen the movie. You may have read the book. Yet until you’re staring at the 6’2 “Goon” himself, you have no idea the terror his presence set into the minds of those he went toe-to-toe with on the ice as an enforcer. He’s tall, he’s focused, and he’s not afraid to take a couple punches from anyone who gets in the way of him protecting those around him. Even outside of the game, the 6’2 former professional fighter Doug Smith instantly commands the room with his presence: if not for his height, the former fight man’s contagious smile and genuine kindness can be spotted a mile away.
The son of an amateur boxer, Smith says his father didn’t want him in the ring at all and refused to take him to any of his games. Yet it was Smith’s own mother who recognized his passion for the pastime, and secretly took him to watch his first fight without his father knowing. “I think from a young age I enjoyed that sport..My father thought it was dangerous but I wanted to at least try it.” Little did they both know at the time that this game would be the start of an incredible career that lead Smith to do a bit of boxing of his own that started him on the path to a book, movies, and a career he truly fell in love with.
How did that one his mother took him to kickstart his future as an enforcer? Despite discovering his love for fighting, Smith was still a teenager that loved to hang out with his friends just as much as anyone else who simple got roped into playing a game of hockey on a local pond. “I didn’t play hockey as a kid growing up. I didn’t start skating until I was 19 on a pond in Hanover, and a friend of mine persuaded me to learn to skate just to hang out. It really started to snowball in the fighting aspect, and they said ‘You know, if you could keep your balance, and you can fight, you can really do something with this.’ We never imagined it would go as far as it did.” Once he began officially working as an enforcer for the AHL, Smith realized he found his true passion. “I enjoyed the fighting aspect-I know it sounds crazy, but I enjoyed the competition,” said Smith was a sparkle in his eye just reminiscing on his favorite moments on the ice. Many thrilling fights, long road trips, black eyes and missing teeth later, Smith remains humble about his experience to this day. “Listen, my story is simple: I didn’t write books and I didn’t have movies because I won my fights. In fact, I probably lost most of my fights. But it was an underdog story-I didn’t have my first organized hockey game until I was 22 years old, and that’s really late. So I think the public absorbed it more as a longshot guy who just happened to make it.” Despite his success, Smith says although his mother spent many years supporting her son in every way possible in his road to success there is still one thing she’s refused to do: “She’s had no interest in watching the movie, and I don’t think she should, either. It’s too vulgar for her!” he explains.
Today, Smith continues to serve as a protector for those around him as an Officer with the Hanson Police Department, and gives back to his community through various charities including Skate For The 22 Foundation. On top of all he does daily, Smith confirmed for fans The Goon franchise isn’t going anywhere. “There might be a third movie,” he revealed to us with a sly smile.

When NFL Cheerleader & Founder of StrongHer Organization Alicia Capone walked into the studio on the evening of our 2019 Holiday Special, there was something very different about her. It wasn’t that she’d just been rushing from work to come and join us, and of course she wasn’t nervous about jumping into the studio with us like she’d done before. No, I recognized the smile ear to ear of a girl who’d just recently heard the words that were about to change both her name and her life: Alicia was rocking a GORGEOUS engagement ring, and was ready to share the news with the world.
Yet Alicia’s proposal was one that would bring envy to any true New England fan (and according to her mother, a hard secret to keep!). Much to her surprise, Alicia had been proposed to on the field of Gillette Stadium: and her now-fiancee had worked hard to make sure both of their families were there in person to watch it all happen. With a little help from her fellow cheerleaders, players’ families and even Coach Belichick himself, Alicia’s fairytale moment on the field became a reality with just enough tickets to make sure her family could be there to hold up signs when the big moment came. “Andrea (Andrea Cadigan, Head Cheerleader of the New England Patriots) kept hugging me so that I wouldn’t turn around and notice the signs or see my family in the stands,” Now looking back, no one was talking to me third or fourth quarter and there were all these little hints to put more makeup on or lipstick, one of my teammates started brushing my hair..I didn’t think anything of it!” As she was waiting to do what she thought was walking a former veteran on the field, she began to notice signs but says it all felt like a beautiful blur. “I remember being so excited that I can’t even remember what he said, or what I SAID, so I went up to him after the game and was like ‘I don’t remember if I said yes, but YES!’ just to make sure,” she laughed. This is actually pretty common to be so excited you don’t remember your proposal: co-host Emmalyn, who recently got married in September, said she felt the same way and was so excited she stood back in awe and their families had actually been nervous she’d said no! Of course, this wasn’t the case for either of the happy couples, and now Alicia says she has pictures and memories that will last her a lifetime as she and Sean diving head first into planning for a 2021 wedding.
Beside Alicia, yet another guest was waiting with a big surprise reveal of his own. Hold The Line Hockey Tournament Founder Nik Tasiopoulos who organizes the local charity event bringing former Bruins players to play vs. local first responders to benefit fallen heroes in our communities announced he and his fiance are expecting their first child in May. “For the first one, we like the name Jackson,” Nik said with a smile that confirmed he and his fiance are planning for more children to come in the Tasiopoulos household. Yet that’s not all that’s in store for 2020: Nik revealed he and his fiance are also planning for a September wedding at Granite Links in Quincy, an elegant golf course that boasts a beautiful view of the Boston skyline. On top of all of that, Nik is already also planning for Hold The Line 2020 to benefit Officer Gresca and his family of Waltham. “It’s amazing how the first responder and hockey community overlaps, and we already have a waiting list of first responders ready to play in August of 2020.”
