Geocache Description:

Cache is hidden in a Morris County Park. Solve the simple ice hockey and geography puzzle. Coordinates are for parking.


This cache is named for the 1977 movie SLAP SHOT. According to a popular men’s magazine poll it is “the best guy movie of all time”. This action packed favorite stars Paul Newman as the coach/player of a collapsing minor league ice hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs. The infamous Hanson brothers provide the classic old time hockey antics. The movie is not for children.
