Joseph André Bernard, Boom Boom Geoffrion was a Canadian Professional Hockey Player and Coach. Generally considered one of The Innovators of The Slap Shot, he was inducted into The Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972 following a 16 Year Career with The Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers. In 2017 Geoffrion was named one of The 100 Greatest NHL Players in History.

In 1968 he finally retired as a Player and became Coach of The New York Rangers, but resigned after only 43 games due to Ulcers in his stomach. In 1972 he became The First Coach of the Atlanta Flames, and held the position for two and a half seasons, leading them to their First Playoff Appearance in 1974. However, 52 games into his Third Season, he had to resign due to health problems yet again. Geoffrion moved to The Flames’ Broadcast Booth, where he became The Colour Commentator alongside Veteran Play By Play Man, Jiggs McDonald. He realized a longtime dream of Coaching his beloved Canadiens in 1979, but his recurring stomach ailment forced him to step down Mid-Season.
