Goon

1. A hired thug or henchman... i.e. "Hired Muscle" ostensibly to intimidate an adversary/target...

2. In hockey, a minimally talented but very violent player who usually fights a lot. Less common in modern professional hockey due to rule changes.

1. "Luca Brasi was a feared goon for the Corleones"

2. "Gino Odjick was the ugliest goon I ever saw"
