If this is the same Shane from Enoch, then yes he was not only a hockey player but, a very good one. I played with Shane until I was about 12.

The player in question was Bernie Geoffrion of the Montreal Canadiens. He originated and made popular the slap shot in the 50's. When his hard shot echoed, or boomed, off the end boards his team mates began referring to him as " Boom Boom" or " the Boomer".
