In Dave Coulier’s Reddit AMA, the “Full House” alum revealed that his favorite episode was “The episode where I got to play hockey.” He continued, “A lot of my friends got to skate in that show as extras. Really fun day.” That episode is Season 6’s “Nice Guys Finish First,” in which Joey participates in the Bay City Charity Foundation hockey game. There, he reignites his rivalry with Stonewall, a goalie who humiliated Joey in college. The 1992 episode also outs Becky as a secret hockey nut and includes Joey and Michelle debating the merits of playing like a meanie versus playing like a weenie (it turns out the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle).
For Coulier, a huge hockey fan, “Nice Guys Finish First” was a personal favorite for another reason; he used the episode as an excuse to rock the merch of his beloved Detroit Red Wings, just like he did in the show’s opening credits. “When you grow up in Detroit, you’re a big Red Wings fan,” the actor told Post Grad Problems. “When ‘Full House’ started … you didn’t have to pay all these royalty fees to the NHL or the owners and you could just wear what you wanted. So, I just worked that in and I knew if I wore it in the opening titles it would run for every show if the show got picked up.”
Coulier also joked that the team’s owners thanked him for the free publicity. “Believe me, the owners of the Red Wings, Mr. and Mrs. Illitch, have thanked me many times for that.”
