nash61 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I've long been fascinated by hockey goal songs and the reasoning behind them. Some can be very good, some can be very bad (Buffalo), and some just try to stay hip (like that time the Leafs used the Harlem Shake) What are some of your favourites? Doesn't have to be NHL, perhaps some underrated teams/songs find their way in here. My hometown junior teams use these as their goal songs: I've never heard either of them used by a major team, but both are decent as goal songs, and aren't overused like many are.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Crabcake Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The Caps use the end of the song "The Wicker Man" by Iron Maiden. The part used by the Caps begins at 3:48 of the song. The other parts of the song are a little too heavy rock for me, but I absolutely love the end of the song and it's great for firing up the fans. I got to hear the goal song seven times when I went to a game in January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 May be interesting for some wrestling fans, for the Calgary Hitmen's 20th anniversary last year they used Bret Hart's theme as the goal song. For those who don't know, he's from Calgary, was part of the original ownership group and the team is named after him. It was a nice nod to the history of the the franchise, but for some reason they have since gone back to Howling for You, very overused, which they used two seasons ago.

That is the ONLY freakin' goal song that franchise should ever use. Howlin' For You is quite simply a horrible song, much less in the context of a goal song.

officeglenn Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The Buffalo Sabres started using "Let Me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool this season, and I will fight you if you don't think it is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorites, along with the Blue Jackets... Calgary and Chicago aren't bad, but I wish I never have to hear Chicago's again "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

kiwi_canadian Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 There is a great app for IOS called "Goal Horns" and it has all the NHL team goal songs as well as some KHL and AHL. It's pretty updated. Even allows you to download the songs as ringtones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 My local team uses this: Does well enough in getting the crowd into it. They've only been using it for a handful of years, after it replaced James Brown's I Feel Good. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I always thought "Smoke on the Water" or "Highway Star" would be great goal songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Some of you may or may not already know this, but the Blackhawks switched to this song by The Fratellis a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The Penguins just switched to Party Hard this year after a fan campaign on Twitter. They got Andrew WK to come to a game in person, and of course failed to score any goals that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHERE MAMA HIDES THE COOKIES!!!!" The Sharks also just started voting for a new goal song.

KittSmith_95 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I used to joke and say the cannucks should use the chorus of "Riot" by Three Days Grace..... but the more I think about it, it would be a good goal song. That one..... "Welcome to the Jungle" for the Wild & "Thunderstruck" for the Bolts. And I miss "Boys of Winter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
