"The Hockey Song", sometimes mistakenly called "The Good Old Hockey Game", is a song written and originally performed by Canadian folksinger Stompin' Tom Connors.
The song's first release was on Connors' 1973 album, Stompin' Tom and the Hockey Song.[1] The song was played at Ottawa Senators games in 1992,[2] after which Pat Burns, then coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, insisted it be played in Toronto as well.[3] The song is now played throughout both Canadian and American NHL arenas,[4] as well in the home arenas of European hockey teams (e.g. Dinamo Rīga).[5]
