The Golgothans are an international street hockey team and member club of the VASHL.The franchise was added as part of the 2016 expansion, which also included the Salsa Sharks and the SModawa 37’s.
The team is based on a scene in Kevin Smith’s movie 1999 film Dogma. The Golgothan – also referred to as a “shit demon” or “excremental” – is a vile creature composed of human excrement. It was brought into existence from the pain and misery of the people of Golgotha who were put to death by crucifixion and given form by the waste excreted by the victims upon death. Its stench is unbearable and can diminish a person’s will to fight, causing most to flee from it. In Dogma, the demon Azrael summoned a Golgothan to find and kill the Last Scion, Bethany Sloane. The monster failed thanks to the quick-thinking (or sheer dumb luck) of Silent Bob, who knocked the creature out with an aerosol. As of 2019, they are also one of the six VASHL franchises that have participated in the Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament, as well as the September Classic. Contents |
