Anybody know any good hockey songs? Our semi final playoffs start this weekend and we need some songs to get the kids pumped up before the game. As if they aren't pumped up enough already. As the coach describes them, "They are a bunch of very hyper kids."

Sammy, besides 'The Good Old Hockey Song', I have:
• The Tragically Hip: Hockey Song (GREAT!!!)
• Warren Zevon: Hit Somebody (do you know this? If not, you will love it)
• Tom Green: Hockey Song
Do you know how to get them?

Lyrics from Hit Somebody:
WARREN ZEVON"Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)"
He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline
He started playing hockey by the time he was nine
His dad took the hose and froze the back yard
And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard
He grew up big and he grew up tough
He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks
But he wasn't that good with a puck
Buddy's real talent was beating people up
His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up
Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites
He must have racked up more than six hundred fights
A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon
Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon
Son, we've always got room for a goon"
There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Brains over brawn-that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do
What else can a farm boy from Canada to do
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do
What else can a farm boy from Canada to do
Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared
When Buddy the goon came over the boards
"Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals"
The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role
The fast guys get paid, they shoot, they score
Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for
Protection is what you're here for
Protection-it's the stars that score
Protection-kick somebody's ass
Protection-don't put the biscuit in the basket just
Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears
Blood on the ice ran down through the years
The king of the goons with a box for a throne
A thousand stitches and broken bones
He never lost a fight on his icy patrol
But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal
He just wanted one damn goal
There were Swedes at the the blue line
Finns at the red
A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head
Brains over brawn-that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do
What else can a farm boy from Canada to do
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do
What else can a farm boy from Canada to do
In his final season, on his final night
Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight
Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll
And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal
The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot
Twenty years of waiting went into that shot
The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too
And coldcocked Buddy on his follow through
The big man crumbled but he felt all right
'Cause the last thing he saw
was the flashing red light
He saw that heavenly light
There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Take care of your teeth-that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do
What else can a farm boy from Canada to do
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do
What else can a farm boy from Canada to do

I don't know if you know Nomeansno out of Vancouver, but they also have an alter-ego band that I have brought up a few times here called the Hanson Brothers who have a few Cds out. They sound a lot like the Ramones (the other influence for the band) so if you want a few short punky songs about Hockey, check them out. Not all the songs on the Cds are about hockey though. They also have a version of Stompin' Toms Hockey Song which is well worth a listen. It is certainly goodfor gearing someone up. Otherwise they also have put out two compilation albums which are only about hockey and, while heavily leaning towards punk, there is something for all tastes there. I think all the bands on the compilations are from Canada as far as I can see. And the Czech National Opera is about to premiere the opera "Nagano" in a couple of weeks, but I guess a CD of that would not be so much for kids...  |

Yep, got the Hansons Hockey Song as well as the Tragically Hip one. Have the Stompin Tom as well as the Oilers opening song. Duststorm is a popular one also. I didn't know Warren Zevon had a hockey song out. I must get it.
Thanks

Yes, I guess it's more for our age. Maybe the Tom Green 'hockey song' - it's hip hop, or the one by Tragically Hip, it's upbeat. That's all I got, otherwise try the Hansen Brothers.  |

How about "50 Mission Cap" by The Tragically Hip...
Bill Barilko disappeared that summer,
he was on a fishing trip.
The last goal he ever scored
won the Leafs the cup
They didn't win another until 1962,
the year he was discovered.
I stole this from a hockey card,
I keep tucked up under
my fifty mission cap, I worked it in
to look like that

"But what's a Canadian farm boy to do What else can a farm boy from Canada to do But what's a Canadian farm boy to do What else can a farm boy from Canada to do" No wonder why most of Saskatchewan's most known NHL players are fighters outside of Gordie Howe. It's true though, most hockey players in this province are goons. Speaking of fighting and cheap shots, you should read this article. It's unfortunate such an idiot chooses not to look at the positives.. like having a championship team in his city. www.nj.com/columns/times/yavener/index.ssf?/base/columns-0/107943156333560.xml |

You seem to have forgotten the Gordie Howe hat trick JD. A goal, an assist and a fight. Wendel Clark was a heck of a player also, but tended to sit in the penalty box alot. How about Bernie Federko and Bryan Trottier. Yep, whats a Canadian farm boy to do. |

I knew Gordie was a fighter but he wasn't a one dimensional player. Most of the players from Saskatchewan who are currently in the NHL are. There are a few who aren't, but the majority are pure fighters =)
Bernie had his number retired by the Saskatoon Blades last season, I was quite dissapointed that he didn't show up for that game.
