While reading through tweets about hockey the other day I discovered a tweet that someone wrote. The tweet read as follows:
"There's only one song about hockey and that is The Hockey Song"
I had to fight the urge to reply. Granted, Stompin' Tom Connors' "The Hockey Song" is the most noticeable of all the hockey songs but there are so many more. This set me on a mission to: SPREAD THE WORD ON SONGS ABOUT HOCKEY. Granted it's not curing cancer, helping those less fortunate, or feeding the hungry BUT a mission none-the-less.
It's Neil Peart of the band Rush performing the Hockey Night in Canada theme song. Way awesome.
Below are some of the songs about hockey:
The Hockey Song- Jughead
Fifty Mission Cup- The Tragically Hip
The Zamboni Song- Gear Daddies
Hockey- Jane Siberry
Hockey Night in Canada- The Shuffle Demons
Gordie and My Old Man- Grievous Angels
The Ballad of Wendel Clark Part 1&2- Rheostatics
The Lonely End of the Rink- The Tragically Hip
Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)- Warren Zevon
Firework- The Tragically Hip
Big League- Tom Cochrane & Red Rider
Scoring- Guy Lefleur
Hockey Hair- Pansy Division
Hockey Monkey- The Zambonis
I Wanna Drive The Zamboni- The Zambonis
Time to Go- Dropkick Murphys
In French:
Dale Hawerchuck- Les Dale Hawerchuck
Go Habs Go- Vilain Pingouin
Passe Moi La Puck- Les Colocs
In Swedish:
Den Glider In- Nick Borgen
Now these aren't ALL the songs about hockey by no means.
I've also been told that everyone should check out the band "Two Man Advantage". They are a hockey themed punk rock group out of Long Island, New York. I've heard that their shows are very wild. They apparently dress up and put on a "Mock hockey game" on-stage. Most of their songs are very fast and are almost always about either hockey or beer. (Hockey? Beer? Sounds like my kind of band!)
So as popular as The Hockey Song is; There are more hockey songs to be enjoyed.
