Jack Anthony Carlson (born August 23, 1954) is an American former professional ice hockey forward. He played in the World Hockey Association from 1974 to 1979 and in the National Hockey League from 1979 to 1987.

Career

Carlson played in the World Hockey Association with the Minnesota Fighting Saints, Edmonton Oilers and New England Whalers, and in the National Hockey League for the Minnesota North Stars and St. Louis Blues. He accumulated 1,111 penalty minutes in 508 professional games. Late in his professional career, he came to be known as "Killer Carlson" because of "enforcer" style of play.[1]

Carlson's brothers Steve and Jeff are also former professional hockey players, and are famous for roles in the movie Slap Shot as two of the Hanson Brothers. Carlson was originally supposed to play the third brother; however, he was called up by the Edmonton Oilers just before shooting and was replaced by Dave Hanson.[2]
