The film is based on the book "Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey" by Adam Frattasio and Douglas Smith. Footage from Smith's career as a hockey enforcer is shown during the films credits.
Curt Keilback, who plays the role of Halifax's play-by-play announcer, is actually a former National Hockey League play-by-play announcer.
A great majority of the cast is comprised by Canadian actors, including the well-established actors in Hollywood like Jay Baruchel, Kim Coates, Alison Pill and Eugene Levy. The only non-Canadians in major roles are Minnesota-native Seann William Scott and New Yorker Liev Schreiber. Ironically, Baruchel plays an American character (a thickly-accented Massachusetts native) in the film, while Schreiber plays a Canadian character.
Jay Baruchel wanted to adapt the book into a film after noticing a lack of hockey comedies in recent years.
Seann William Scott gained weight for the role of Doug Glatt, as well as taking intensive skating lessons and fighting on ice.
