Tom Cochrane of course - Big League! Another Canadian anthem...eh?!! "My boys gonna play in the big leagues, my boys gonna turn some heads. Oh woah...In The Big Leagues! And of course the one and only Stompin Tom the good ole hockey game!! I'd have to think about this for more, but thats off the top! Love this video Brian. Awesome. Cheers bud! 🍻✌️🤘🥅🏒🤘
Hockey songs! Love it!! Great choices. Another nice one is Kathleen Edwards’ Hockey Skates off Failer. Truth be told, hockey is more a metaphor in the song. Just saw her again recently in a small club here in Vancouver and she played Hockey Skates beautifully.
Cheers to you Brian! Many people are saying this might just be the best video you’ve ever done. I definitely need to check out these songs. Love the photo of you from your childhood in the 50’s too. This video shows the fun side Brian. Love it
Hey Brian. I love this! You are hitting me right in the feels when you talk about flooding the backyard and playing pickup hockey with the neighbourhood kids. For me, my best friend had a ravine behind his house and there was enough ice there for us to skate around on. Great fun. I’m curious whether or not you have the Tragically Hip album World Container? They have another hockey song on that one called The Lonely End of the rink. I’m sure you are familiar with it. And I don’t get too many chances to correct you in your videos so I will take this opportunity- Wendel Clark was a Winger, not a Defenseman. Once again, excellent video! I don’t think I have any other hockey songs in my collection apart from the Hip ones you mentioned. Well done buddy and have a good weekend.
Hi Chris, You are right about Wendel. I have no idea why I said defenseman. Thanks for the correction! I do have World Container and that track mad the list, but I thought that was maybe too much Hip! 😀 Maybe there is no such thing as too much Hip 🙂
This was fun to watch, Brian! So, not sure if this counts at all, but one of my favorite Kathleen Edwards songs is 'I Make The Dough, You Get the Glory' which references Wayne Gretzky and Matt McSorley. If I remember, the music video may have a bit of a hockey theme, and I think they are in it. Also, a band from Connecticut that has been around for decades is 'The Zamboni's'. They wear full on hockey gear when performing, and all their songs are hockey themed. Everything from making the winning shot, and the classic 'Don't Date the Coach's Daughter', etc. I've seen them live a few times over the years. Tragically Hip would come to CT on occasion, but I never go the chance to see them, unfortunately. Jane Siberry and hockey - huh! Who knew? 😎
Hi Ed, I almost used that Kathleen Edwards song, but I only have the CD (It's Cecile's copy). Someone else mentioned the Zomboni's, but I had never heard of them! I did see the Hip several times. They were always entertaining 🙂 Siberry and hockey does seem like a weird combo.
“Sitting in my basement, as I always do”…I enjoyed the backyard rink story. I remember those well. That Rocket Richard song description was very cool. Duke Street label. Good stuff. “Somehow I remember the friend was a dentist”…I was never a devout Tragically Hip fan, but still can enjoy them when I hear it. You’ve sold me on that docuseries. I just added it to my watchlist. “Let’s get back to the music here”…Wendall Clark! Legendary character! 🇨🇦🏒
The Hip doc series might make you a fan! I think it made me more of a fan, if that makes sense. Maybe I need to make a backyard rink, though we don't really have enough space...
I didn't think a video featuring songs about hockey could be interesting, but you did it! I see the two mystery songs have already been guessed, but I wanted to add, I Wanna Drive the Zamboni by the Gear Daddies to the list. Not really about hockey, but hockey adjacent. Great work, Brian!
Hi Mark, Someone else mentioned I Wanna Drive the Zamboni, but I have never heard it! I will have to. To be honest, I'd love to drive a Zamboni. I'm watching your live stream with GG right now 🙂
The last episode was certainly tough to watch, but it was very well done. I'm not sure I could watch it again 😞 It's essential viewing for music fans, I think.
Big Beaver! Saskatchewan. I've been there. Well, drove through it. Not far from Climax. Yeah, I know, eh? I was going to do a hockey song video a couple of years ago. Anvil has a song called All I Want for Christmas Is for the Leafs to Win the Cup. The Shuffle Demons do Hockey Night in Canada. Of course there's the Tragically Hip, but I don't have any albums of theirs with a hockey song. Moxy Fruvous mention playing hockey in a song. And there's one more I forget. Maybe Blue Rodeo mention hockey? That Warren Zevon song made me think of Tiger Williams. Until the end. Oh, right! Fifty Mission Cap! I have that one! And the Rheostatics. I have an album where they mention hockey. Cool to hear so much background information, Brian. It's all so familiar to me, the names and the history. It makes me feel really Canadian to hear you talk about these songs.
Big Beaver is near Climax? OMG. I need to take a road trip! I should listen to that Anvil song. Shuffle Demons - yes, classic. I wish I had it. Moxy Fruvous also have a hockey song, but not the one I was thinking about. I don't know about Blue Rodeo. Mark from Twanger's Turntable got the two I was thinking about 👍 I'm just going to map out my trip to Big Beaver and now ...
@@EmbryonicRobot Actually, I visited Bryan Trottier's hometown back in 1993. I think it was Val Marie. I was going to Eastend to drive by the home of Wallace Stegner (not a hockey player but an American historian who lived in Saskatchewan for a few years).
There are some funny place names, including some really salacious ones in the UK! I have heard of Wallace Stegner, but have never read anything by him. Very interesting.
Hey Brian. Interesting theme, I didn't know there were any songs about hockey. What I know about hockey you could write on a postage stamp. I'm not sure if it's different these days but back in the eighties when I was at school, hockey in the UK was largely if not exclusively an all-female sport (at least that seemed to be the case in Wales where I grew up). Interesting bunch of showings. 🏑
Growing up in rural Ontario, it was all hockey all winter (and into June, believe it or not). Too bad the Toronto Maple leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1967. I feel it will never happen in my lifetime 😔
When are you gonna send me a Maple Leafs jersey so I can wear it on my Olympia? I may get fired for that 😅 in St. Lou. Gotta put the foil on your hands! Check out The Hanson Brothers for hockey jams. I get some Laurie Andersen vibes from Jane Siberry but definitely not the performance aspect of Andersen. One of my best friends, who joined the 27 Club, was a ridiculously huge Tragically Hip fan. I grew up in the Deep South so ice skating was special FX to us. Within the last 20 years or so, I've grown an affinnation for the sport. Cool 😎 video!
A Maple Leafs jersey would be a damn fine xmas gift. I don't have one myself! For us in Toronto it is a yearly heartbreak. The season starts with optimism and ends in tears. It's an unbreakable cycle 😔 I am convinced the Leafs will not win in my lifetime!
The Warren Zevon song was the first one I thought about with David Letterman providing the "Hit Somebody" phrase. I had one of those All Star Hockey Games made by Cadaco as a kid and I was always the Toronto Maple Leafs for some reason. I hope that I am not the one who jinxed them. I was wondering if one of the songs you were thinking about is "Zamboni" by The Gear Daddies which I have on CD.
I forgot to mention David Letterman 😔 I had some sort of table top hockey game, but I can't remember the teams! You are the second person to mention the The Gear Daddies and I have never eve heard that song (yet)!
You overlooked an important detail regarding the Zevon track - David Letterman provides backing vocals. Another related tidbit - Dave Hodge was / is a very serious indie rock fan. Yet another tangent - the rather obscure single, The Ballad of Team Canada by Jerry Dallas.
I think "Hit Somebody!" by Zevon is the best song about professional hockey. "Hockey" by Jane Siberry is the best song about being a kid playing hockey.
Hey Brian- growing up (mostly) in a N Dakota college town, hockey was THE sport- I never played on a team but definitely enjoyed the ‘backyard ice rink’ games and whatnot. I cannot think of a single hockey-related song I’ve heard, tbh, but is one of your bonus songs ‘The Iceman Comes’ by our hero Gary Numan by any chance?? 😂 Cheers-R
Mitch Albom - Didn't he write 'Tuesdays with Morrie'? Best selling author, if it's the same guy. Both national sports require gum shields then - Canadians must truly be a rough bunch.
I just looked it up, and you are right about Mitch Albom. I have never read it. Oh, yes, we are a rough/tough bunch 🙂 BTW, the Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto!
Ice Hockey. Isn't that the same thing as saying Hoop Basketball or Bat Baseball. I see your point. And I don't say the Ice part. Because ice is the bane of my existence especially when trying to stand up on it with very thin blades attached to my shoes. But, I've become a Edmonton Oilers fan since moving here! I still have to try out Jane Siberry. I was hoping you would show the John Zorn album called "Hockey" but I think that album is pretty much unfindable. But at least then I could have said that I have finally seen it. Great mention of Rheostatics. Haven't seen that album, but you did say it was a tough one to find. Very informative video, I guess I haven't immersed myself in the Canadian culture as much as I should yet. I think I could probably even pass the citizenship test now after watching this. Oh, another one is by Super Furry Animals called Ice Hockey Hair. Yep they said Ice Hockey, but they are from across the pond after all.
Football field football, too! I learned to skate when I was about 4 years old, but that was pretty much standard around here. I have never seen that Zorn album. I only really know his Naked City album. Funny, I just heard a clip of Ice Hockey Hair, thanks to Morten Aastad, who made a short after watching this video! Yes, we'd just call it Hockey Hair!
It might be to distinguish it from grass hockey?! In Australia where hockey (grass) is reasonably popular we say Ice for hockey on ice so it’s clear which one ur talking about!
Yes, that is undoubtedly true. Here, we tend to say field hockey for the same reason. Although, field hockey is way less popular here. The weird one for me is football, which in North America is American Football. Everywhere else it soccer is football. I think American Football is called Gridiron in places? At least records are records!
I truly couldn't do this & obviously I have no idea about the ones you left out. I saw the Stanley Cup behind a glass case if that counts. Lacrosse isn't a sport, it's a pastime. I watched a short doco on the Canadia v Russia games in the Toronto Hockey Museum. It looked tense. I have learned in the comments that Vinyl Richie worked in a graveyard...wow that actually explains a lot 😂At least you have some decent bands playing hockey songs. I can't think of an Australian band who does an AFL or cricket song that's not shit. Hmmm actually Paul Kelly does a song called Bradman which isn't bad. King Gizz do a very silly song on their first album called Footy & Spiderbait did a Footy song, but at the end they sing I hate footy. This is definitely an untapped market for The 1980s.
Seeing the Stanley Cup behind counts, but drinking champagne out of it after wining the Cup would be better! For some reason, your comment reminded me of World in Motion by England New Order. Is that a good song? I don't really know. Surely, there must be great songs about football that I have never heard. . .
I agree with that. No one needs any back wash!! I think it was a serious, non-loaded question. I suppose that there are good songs and then good songs for occasions. Maybe in the context of the World Cup, it was OK 🙂 Maybe not... 😔
As a child and young teen there was a good friend whose father was a doctor and they had a tennis court in their backyard. His dad would place boards purposely made and designed to hold water and be the “boards”in the make-shift rink. We would flood the court and once froze his dad would even paint the center line and goalie zone lol. There wasn’t a single kid who did not spend all day in their backyard. Oh those were the good days. I’m sure now you would be up against ridiculous laws and potential law suits if you did this now…..sad.
Now that sounds like a good backyard rink! Ours just had snowbanks instead of boards 😔 I hadn't thought about liability, but you may have a point. I guess you'd need everyone to sign some sort of contract now ... Sad indeed.
Hockey is one sport I am not interested at all even it is kind our national sport...or because it... I have only one song in mind and it is maybe not supporting the sport...
What a great idea, Brian! I enjoyed the video. I've watched plenty of Amerks games at the Blue Cross Arena. The only thing that comes to mind is the band Five for Fighting. 🏒
Hi Mark, I've had a few interesting hockey song suggestions, but you are the first to mention that band I've never heard of. That is an authentic hockey name for a band 🙂

Hi Brian. Great video as always. I believe The Weakerthans have a few hockey references including the song Elegy from Gump Worsley.
Thanks for the nice comment. I don't think I have ever heard that song from The Weakerthans! I should have a listen.
It’s a good one!
@@StylusMeetsVinyl OK. I really will listen!

@EmbryonicRobot Ah, gotcha! I'll take the 'E' for effort 🙂
Great video! Love the topic and like you connected the songs to a great sport!
I'll resist doing a part two 🙂
Hockey is the only sport I can watch for more than five minutes without falling asleep
Ha ha. After watching baseball, hockey just seems to unbelievably fast! It is engaging 👍
This was fun Brian. I made a little short for you inspired by this 😊
I'm watching it now!

@@EmbryonicRobot Absolutely. Helped, I’m sure, by the fact his brother made it.
@@JohnHirstUK No doubt!
Hey Brian. Love it! I played hockey for 11 years - we also used to freeze our driveway to make a rink. Cheers
Frozen driveway! So cool 🙂
When I worked graveyard and I couldn’t sleep I would put Ice Hockey on the radio.
Ice hockey! 🙂 Did that put you to sleep or keep you up?
I misread that and thought you'd written 'When I worked in a graveyard'. I'm disappointed now.
I have a step-brother who did work in a graveyard!
It put me sound asleep.
