Hulu's Shoresy is one of the best hockey shows ever, and it took some daring casting choices to pull off season 1 of the Letterkenny spinoff so successfully.
The first season of Hulu’s Shoresy accomplished quite a few impressive feats. Not only did it turn series creator and star Jared Keeso’s foul-mouthed supporting character from Letterkenny into a fully formed, sympathetic protagonist, but it also managed to deliver one of the most realistic portrayals of small-town hockey you’ll find on any screen — big or small.
Former hockey pros Jonathan-Ismael Diaby, Terry Ryan, Jon Mirasty, and Brandon Nolan portray several members of the misfit — and in many cases, missing teeth — squad that helps Shoresy turn the Bulldogs’ fortunes around. They’re joined by several other former pros in the show’s cast, many of which make their acting debuts in the series.
“Jared would always consult with us, and it was nice to be able to give him input — because we’re guys that have been there,” said Mirasty, who earned the nickname “Nasty” for his aggressive play in professional leagues over the years. Mirasty and Nolan, as well as Nolan’s brother, Jordan, portray a trio of correctional officers — all named “Jim” — recruited to toughen up the roster.
In some cases, the show mirrored reality so closely that cast members found themselves essentially playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Nashville Predators 2013 draft pick Jonathan-Ismael Diaby also plays a modified version of himself in the series.
