Hockey Anthems

I think everyone has heard Stompin Tom Conners' The Hockey Song, and I know in Canada it has become a staple at the games (I think the Senaturds play it every home game).

Probably the only music more identified to hockey is the theme song to "Hockey Night in Canada". It's been called Canada's Second National Anthem. The CBC tried to change it years ago, and there was a huge backlash. They have manage to jazz it up over the years, but it's kept to the same tune.

My current favorite is Dropkick Murphys' Time To Go. Not sure the lyrics do this Bruins' rocker justice, their music adds a great deal of bluster that great bar bands exude. I first heard it playing NHL 2005 and when I heard the full version I fell in love. I wish the Blue and White had a similar tribute song.

The Dropkick Murphys are a friggin' great band.


Pantera did a fight song for the Dallas Stars several years back. I have it at home. I'll upload it later.

Beat me to it.

Very kick ass to the point tune. During the parade back in '99, Pantera was on one of the floats jammin' it.
