I had no idea that the "O" in the Capitals anthem traces back to the Baltimore Orioles, but that makes total sense. Anyway, what's your favorite tradition in hockey? Comment below, and don't miss other Twisted Wrister videos like...

To be fair, I'd say fewer than half the Caps fans know the "O" is a reference to the O's either. A lot of them are just following what everyone else is doing. There is one super awesome guy that insists on shouting "V" after everyone else shouts "O", even though nobody has ever joined him in almost a decade of doing it. At least he is persistent... But, even outside the Caps games, Marylanders love screaming the "O" during the anthem no matter how solemn the occasion, which is why everyone else calls it the "Baltimoron" chant.
A better (and much newer) tradition here in DC is each player getting to pick their own unique goal song. They started that a while back, and it is always exciting when a rookie or new player gets their first goal and we get to hear their song for the first time.
The "O" and "RED" during the anthem fit, but another great Caps tradition is during the last TV timeout in the 3rd period when they UNLEASH THE FURY!
At the 2011 winter classic in Pittsburgh it was pretty cool when (I think there was about 30K+ of us Caps fans there) all did our bit during the anthem, lots of confused Pens fans and (after watching the replay on TV,) smiling capitals players
My favorite NHL tradition is the handshake line.
Something a Knights fan and a Sharks fan can agree on 🤝😆
Yup.
This really shows how scummy other sports are. Every sport should do a handshake at the end of every playoff series. Those scumbags just walk to their locker room.
I wish talking to the other team could be a tradition
for buffalo you could have also gone with being the only team that sings BOTH anthems regardless of team nationality. been doing it like that since the teams inception pretty much to honor the many many canadian fans who would drive over the border to watch the team
Agreed, great tradition. As a Canadian, I'm particularly touched by this. As an additional nod to the Canadian influence on the sport, Seymour Knox the founder of the Sabres opted for the Canadian spelling of SabREs versus the American SabERs. Could call the spelling another Buffalo tradition.
Since he included specific singers for the anthem, I think he also should’ve at least brought up Rick Jeanneret. He was the announcer when my dad was growing up in northwestern PA, which got him super into hockey, and he was the announcer for me growing up in SC. I love Buffalo simply because he was the one who really got me into hockey. I’m sad that he won’t be around to see the Sabres win the Stanley Cup, and i think every Sabres fan thinks the same.
Missed one tradition with the Blackhawks, and one that is found throughout professional, college, juniors, and has made its way into other sports. The goal horn.
It was first used in the 1973 Stanley Cup finals against the Montreal Canadiens. Former owner Bill Wirtz took the boat horn from his yacht and installed it in the old Chicago Stadium. Every time the Hawks scored, the horn would sound. Birthed one of the greatest traditions in hockey.
The "O Say Can You See..." thing during the National Anthem came from nearby Baltimore Orioles by local taxicab driver, and devoted fan, "Wild Bill" Hagy in the late 1970s. Baltimore is where the Nat'l Anthem was started.
Any Mid-Atlantic sports fan does this.
I thought they just shouted to acknowledge the Orioles so you're telling me that Philly fans also would cheer for the Orioles
Sabres are the only team that performs both the US and Canadian anthems before every home game.
I did not know that!
I just read an article about it that also points out how "Sabres" is the Canadian spelling of the word, which I never realized somehow
Another big tradition that is traced back to the Islanders is one of the biggest. The Islanders were the 1st team to grow out their playoff beards during playoff runs. Now, every team does it. For some reason Wikipedia (well they are not always right) says that it was started by the Red Wings in the mid 80s, but the Islanders were doing it during their dynasty years from 1980-1983. Butch Goring is the one that actually started the tradition.
Flyers have a few traditions, but Luaren Hart singing the anthem regularly and in the playoffs singing God Bless America side by side with Kate Smith is a pretty big tradition for the Flyers. Kate Smith was the Flyers good luck charm on their way to back to back cups in the 70s and became a main stay.
Habs fan here and you mentionned a good team tradition. Other things that I love are when the team captain brings the torch to center ice during the season opener and the flag kids skaring the ice before the players hop onto the ice
I was just about to say,"Where's the torch?" When they touch it to center ice,the display of the whole ice "catching fire" is just another level 🔥. Go Habs Go! 🔴⚪🔵⚪🔴
I would say the Habs greatest tradition is holding the cup in the air 😂
As a Washington Capitals fan I will mention the "O!" chant was there long before Ovechkin. It was also used in reference to Olie Kolzig, as some fans even took it one step further and yelled out "OLIE!" instead of "O!"
It’s older than Ollie even. It’s a DMV tradition that started for the Baltimore Orioles
@@TheStafman97Was going to make this comment. The “O!” is from when the Star Spangled Banner is played before Orioles home games, and is fitting since Francis Scott Key wrote it while on a boat, just outside of Baltimore’s harbor. The tradition probably carried over to the Caps to honor Olaf Kolzig, then Ovechkin. The Baltimore Skipjacks also had some great traditions, which was an AHL team that once had parent teams of The Pittsburgh Penguins (during the mid 80’s), and then for a few seasons with the Capitals in the late 80’s. Sadly, the team was moved to Portland, Maine, due to financial difficulties. The Skipjacks had a great “old-time hockey” styled song that was played when a goal was scored. The song climaxed with the crowd singing the verse, “For Baltimore, and Maryland , every Skipjacks fan will shout, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!” The verse is very similar, and lifted from the Baltimore Colts NFL team fight song, played by the marching band after a touchdown. Lastly, the Skipjacks started the game with a “Fire on Ice” theme, where they put an arched wire by the rink entrance, and when the team’s starting lineup was announced, they lit the half-hoop wire on fire, as they players skated onto the rink passing underneath it. With the lights turned off in the arena, it was a pretty cool effect. As a young teenager, and a fan who went to a handful of games each season, I was disappointed to see them leave Baltimore. Still a Caps fan, and it was a magical moment to see them finally win one, and Ovie getting to hoist the Cup, as well.
I'd argue the Rangers' goal song is a tradition all its own. So hype, and the crowd gets right into it
Lots of fans love it, so I need to see this for myself one day.
For the Sabres, I'm surprised that the "Taro says" tradition signs from fans, in referrence to Taro Tsujimoto wasn't mentioned.
I’m not seeing Buffalo’s entry
As a Sens fan, my favorite tradition of the last few years is the crowd cheering "Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuub" whenever Artem Zub touches the puck.
Oilers fan here. Orange Crush was big in 2017 but not so much anymore (they butchered the orange adidas jerseys badly which killed the momentum of that). Best tradition we probably have now is probably La Bamba. If you know who Joey Moss is, that was his favourite song and it's become a bit of a rallying cry for our team to honor him, we play it after wins.
Oh man, how could I forget that! I love the La Bamba tradition, also makes me think of Ben Stelter 💙🧡
Another Washington Capitals tradition is the goal siren. Since the team was formed, a siren would sound when the team scored - instead of a goal horn. They would also light red and blue rotating lights like on police cars. The operator would control how long the siren would sound. For important goals (like overtime or late playoff goals), the operator would sometimes let it run for a full minute.
These days, they do use a goal horn, but they still sound the siren, too. If you listen carefully, you'll hear it in the background along with the horn.
The music VGK plays during the skate out is "John Wick Mode" and it gives me chills every time
I haven't been to a game there, but I could imagine that being the case!
I'm a lifelong Blackhawks fan, and the national anthem is something else. I was at the game on January 7th against the Flames, and the crowd was quiet during the Canadian anthem. But during the American anthem, everyone went wild and it gives me goosebumps every time. Even just thinking about it can give me goosebumps. Also Chelsea Dagger! The crowd will usually sing along after goals and wins, and I happen to know the lyrics by heart myself. Plus after wins, Sweet Home Chicago plays, but last time I went it was played on the organ.
The Chicago National Anthem is certainly goose-bump inducing for us Hawks fans. Every. Single. Time.
Favorite tradition is the anthem in Chicago, there is nothing like it. Also love how Detroit throws the Octopus on the ice. One of the newer traditions that started in 2006 was in Edmonton how the anthem singer will be in the crowd with the fans singing the Canadian anthem during playoff games.
^ Good callout with the Oilers, I love that!!
8:39 I did! The day before the Stadium Series earlier this year, the Canes had a fan festival in downtown Raleigh. The Stanley Cup was there, I chose not to stand in line for a Justin Williams autograph so that I could stay in line to get a pic with the Cup!!!
That's awesome! And of course, the Canes didn't disappoint in the SS either. You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet Mr Game 7, I'd reckon.
The Rangers goal song is a tradition that has to be heard live, everybody joins in, including vendors and security.
Another Bruins tradition that I love is the fist pumps at the end of the anthem. Rene Rancourt always got the crowd hyped up with these and it was fun to see how many pumps he would give and how excited he was. Todd Angilly is amazing too but no one can do it quite like Rancourt
God I miss Rene Rancourt.
if memory serves me, Rancourt originally did the fist pump as a way to signal his son on tv, which turned into so much more. also, when Rancourt sang the first anthem after the marathon bombings, he subtlety slid back and let the crowd sing it. that was the most epic and emotional pre game anthem I ever saw. the guy was true class.
Bruins fan here. My favorite tradition, well, former tradition since he retired, is Rene Rancourt singing the national anthems. He is still a legend throughout New England.
Not really traditions, but the two things I love best about the Excel Energy Center and my Wild is that they have a jersey on display from every high school hockey team in the rotunda, and when the wild score the lighthouse in the corner of the rink lights up with the goal horn. Great video! Love the content.
Underrated part of the Xcel
So does cbj
Great video,man,thank you! Oddly enough,just before the Sharks entered the NHL,the Penguins were doing the "Shark Chomp" to the tune of the "Jaws" theme during their Stanley Cup run in 1991. They also gave fans yellow signs painted with a black shark fin to wave when the song played,at the start of a power play. They also had signs in the team colors that read "HEY!",which the fans waved around for goals, because they used "Rock And Roll Part II" by Garry Glitter,and the song became popular all over the NHL (although "Party Hard" by Andrew WK is so much better,imo)
The Detroit Red Wings octopus is honestly the most iconic one
As a Caps fan, I think the O chant in the National Anthem may also be related to the Baltimore Orioles who also do that during the anthem and Washington only recently got an MLB team. Also I would argue a more known Caps tradition may be the Unleash the Fury video package they play during the second-third commercial time out during the third period or whenever a key power play or penalty kill happens in the third.
Including getting Tom Green to do it in person.
Caps fan here. Just wanted to mention the “O” in the national anthem is for the Baltimore fans, because of the Orioles. They have been doing it since I first started going to games in the early 90’s
the ole chant is so iconic in Montreal that even at non sporting events you will hear it come out
For the ducks you should really look into the 21st Duck tradition. It’s actually something I look forward to every year and it’s such a cool thing to do. Idk if other teams do it but it’s definitely something to mention.
I can't confirm this but it is strongly rumored that Ranger fans were the first fan base to start the "Let's go *insert team name here* tradition which has now bled over into every sport imaginable. If it's true, I would argue it's the Rangers greatest tradition as that chant now lives in every stadium and arena.
Ah, you don't say! Should that be true then I couldn't disagree one bit 👍
When we win, that means we YEET THE FISH!
Fun fact: So far for the 3 seasons the Kraken, the stuffed Salmon the players throw into the crowd have been a different species of local Salmon
The Rangers have a couple of good options the stick salute is a great choice for the video but some other good ones are obviously the goal song (especially with the live guitarist), baba o’reilly as the entrance song during the playoffs, the playoff fanzone, and many more that I’m missing
POTVIN SUCKS!
My Red Wings have been getting so much better the past few years they need to bring back iconic things like the HockeyTown at center ice and all references to the octopus.
Hard to be HockeyTown when you haven't made the playoffs in 5 years
@@Outta-hz1ej Hockeytown represents the fans of the Wings who have been very passionate of the team even during these tough times with no playoff appearances for a while.
Well, to be honest, the wings have hope this year for playoffs.
Another one that I don’t really think is a massive tradition for just the wings, is them playing “Don’t stop believing “ during or after games. I think it’s just because of the lyric “ Born and raised in south Detroit “, but I honestly don’t really know.
The Flames have been chanting "red" during the national anthem before the Capitals started doing it, they also chant "C" during "oh say can you SEE".
Sabres tradition could be singing both anthems to honor our Canadian season ticket holders
15:26 something to add here there are actually 5 different salmon species in the region and rotate which one the stuffed one is based on for each season, they also only order from one company which makes them only for the team the only way to get a fish is to catch it from a star of the game. They also do the videos similar to Vegas except instead of how the team or opponent it focuses on a player.
My favorite tradition, has to be playoff beards. Before I transitioned, I grew a playoff beard in 2015 when the Blackhawks won the cup.
The caps are my local team so I have no other reference if other teams do this too. I really enjoy the "who cares" chant. After the opposing team has scored a goal and the announcer states the player who scored and any players who assisted the crowd will shout "Who Cares!"
My dad does this at Canes games. Although, he did once attend a Caps-Canes game so I can see where he gets it lol
Edit: in DC
Great video topic. A creative new idea as compared to the usual tried and over done sports topics.
Thank you!! Lemme know if there's another topic kind of like this that I could look into 😃
A big one for the Oilers is playing La Bamba after a home win, this only goes back a few years but it's dedicated to a young Oilers fan who passed from cancer, and it will probably stay as a lasting tradition for the franchise.
You could say that the goal horn for Chicago is a tradition. They were the first team to introduce a goal horn in 1973. (Made permanent in 1983)
Also,each team having its own goal song was started by the New York Rangers in 1997,when MSG music director,Ray Castoldi,came up with the "New York Rangers Goal Song". The "Let's Go,Rangers" chant was performed by Rangers players and season ticket holders at the time,and their horn is the same one used by FDNY fire trucks,dating back to (and because of 9/11)
Islanders started tradition of playoff beards too :)
Oh no! Minnesota has a whole hockey anthem everyone sings involving a kid getting to plant the Minnesota hockey flag on the center dot. It really feels pretty epic! I like the "Lets play hockey" but it doesn't compare. Look up the Minnesota hockey anthem it's great
I didn't know Wayne was the first one that passed the cup around during the celebration after winning the cup and taking a group picture with it on the ice. I'm a Wings fan and I do have a picture of me with the cup and with Phil Pritchard
According to my TN History professor, the catfish tossing came in response to all of the Michiganders throwing octopi on the ice in Bridgestone. Obviously this was more prevalent when they were both in the same division
Avalanche have some older traditions than “All The Small Things”
The notable ones are
1. They yell “the flag was still there” during the US anthem to honor the 9/11 victims
2. The pompoms for playoffs actually originated from the avs (if I remember correctly) to mimic an avalanche/snow.
Avs fans also sing “and our flag was still there” during the national anthem because an emotional fan did it after 9/11. It’s a pretty awesome thing to hear at Ball Arena
That actually goes back to a guy that was a season ticket holder at McNichols in 1996. For several years he was the only person that would yell it, and a lot of folks found him to be obnoxious. I remember that guy having seats right below us in the press box in the early days at Ball Arena. After 9/11 other fans started taking it up as well.
They kinda backed off it in recent years, but God Bless America has to be the Flyers best tradition. 100-29-5 all time record with the Kate Smith recording. Eventually, they had current singer Lauren Hart (HOF announcer Gene’s daughter “carrying on the voice of the Flyers) with Kate on video doing a duet.
Wow, that's an incredible record!
Sens fan here, the first thing that came to mind for me was that after the goal horn everybody yells "WOO HOO" along to the goal song
The penguins delivering tickets is awesome!
Chicago home games, the madhouse going nuts during the national anthem
Another neat thing the Avalanche's arena DJ does is that whenever the Avs kill a powerplay, they play the sound effect of Super Mario eating a mushroom to exemplify the team getting a player back.
^ yeeeesssssss, this!! I love it.
For the first season the Avalanche played, they had the arena announcer announce things like "Icing," "Two-Line Pass", and yes, "The are now at full strength", and the fans would respond "AND THEY STILL SUCK!" Those announcements went away after that first season. lol
Howdy, Stars fan here, don't forget we also shout STAR during the national anthem when the word pops up and the "who cares" chant during an away team goal
For the Ducks, I think the tradition is that Bro Hymn being played by Bear Brass during the playoffs and the Disney song, Rock the Pond, during the team's return to the classic branding just like the 25th anniversary and possibly the in-game debut of the 30th anniversary jersey
They'd also play Brass Bonanza!? I guess we'll have to see what happens the next time they make the playoffs 🦆
@TwistedWristerHockey no I mean "Bear Brass", there's another Ducks' tradition is the most important, the 21st Duck, when the team dedicates a person for their value, even people with illness such as 2018-19 season 21st duck, Michael Lu who's battling Parkinsons desiease and works in the Ducks' D Rink practice facility
@@Gabriel_Rojas_Arena Oh shoot, I had read your initial comment wrong 🤦♂ But that is an excellent tradition!
@@TwistedWristerHockey recently we have the new 21st Duck
That Canucks towel has to be my favorite.
My favorite now changed was the Minnesota Wild using "Let's Go Crazy" by (The Man Formerly Known As) Prince because of his Minnesota origins. By far the best traditions come from College Hockey though - especially those at the Palace of the Prairie, Ralph Englestad Arena at North Dakota.
The Thrashers had the hat trick hats on display at Philips Arena… we didn’t have a lot of them. Also would yell Knights During the star spangled banner in memory of the Atlanta Knights hockey team that was located in Atlanta that then moved when the Thrashers were announced. Also the birds shooting flames during goals and player introductions
The O with the Capitals goes to the Baltimore Orioles. Fans there shout "O's" during that part of the song. As a young kid I thought it was fans warming up saying "Ohhhh" for when a shot missed.
My favorite has to be the flame torch introduction on the ice in Montreal
Thanks for featuring me!!
I once heard the Sens used to have a tradition that if you came to the arena wearing a Leafs jersey you had to donate a canned good to be permitted into the arena
the kraken one made me think of one that Montréal does
I don't know if another team does the same but when the Habs at home have the first star, the player goes around the ice and throw 3 puck to the fan (a bit like the kraken with the seafood)
Also, with the Habs, during the first game, I think, all the players gets to hold the torch and the captain is the last to hold it. he then goes in the middle and bend down to have the torch touch the ice for a fire animation start from the middle and go everywhere on the ice
As a Canes fan my personal favorite is the boys skating out to Rock you Like a Hurricane and the Raise up (North Carolina) goal song the team has really embraced the market
Really hope the game continues to grow here
My favorite Detroit tradition is singing Journey Don't Stop Believin at the end of a win. It's great when the whole arena sings South Detroit. Which is still funny to me as there is no south Detroit.
Somehow I thought South Detroit was Windsor but it doesn't have the same ring to it.
One of the best traditions as a Rangers fan is the Potvin sucks chant which dates back to 1979.
Aww, dude.. The Kraken have an organist. The organist from the movie Slapshot! They brought that in. Great idea
Wings gave all players and staff a day w the cup to my knowledge. I got to touch it when the conditioning coach of the wings brought it to my hometown/his alma mater. Great video, really enjoyed it. Cheers
Not to be a well actually guy ugh I hate me rn
That's awesome you've got a pic with it! There's nothing better in sports than one symbol to represent 100+ years of history :)
Ty for uploading this vid and another devils tradition is chanting “Hey you suck” when the opposing team is losing by 3 or more goals😊.
You missed Flames fans chanting C and RED during the US anthem BEFORE the Caps as well as having the first NHL mascot
Don’t forget to mention that the Blackhawks also birthed the goal horn.
For me as a Bruins fan nothing shouts. Tradition is the goal horn when the announcer shouts whooo we all shouts whooo back its really shows pride if you ask me
As much as I love the C of red (flames fan) the brass bonanza is gotta be the best hands down
For the Senators, they share a tradition with the Maple Leafs, the one of the giant Canadian flag during the anthems. Tsunami by DVBBS & Borgeous has been the power play song for lord knows how long, Song 2 by Blur can almost be called tradition for how long it's been used as their goal song too.
The anthem is the best. I like the show, but “gave proof through the …KNIGHT!!…” as the singer stops and the lights come on for a second is incredible.
For the Blues, my favorite tradition is counting the goals after they score
Yeah I was surprised that he didn't have the Towel Man counting the goals. Also being in St. Louis all sporting events have an organist that will always play "Here Comes the King" paying homage to Annheaisuer Busch. I never knew it wasn't a staple sport song til I went somewhere else. Such a true St. Louis tradition.
8:30 That's Really cool you got to go to my home town Spokane and see the Stanley cup in person! I love the Spokane chiefs and I'm glad you enjoyed it here!
After every Pittsburgh Penguins home win, former public address announcer Mike Lange would say "Elvis has let the building".
Mike Lange did the play by play on radio and TV.
One tradition that probably controversial is the Rangers fans whistling to "Let's go, Band" but chanting "Potvin Sucks". It's a bit played out TBH
The avs one is electric. I got to experience it last year in April and it’s awesome
Arlette's anthems are some of the best I've heard, there's a reason she's been doing it for so long
One flyers tradition that I loved but was taken away because of her past songs is the national anthem by Kate Smith they would play her video that side by side with a live singer
As a knights fan, I personally think that we have the best pregame entrance as well as the Knight chant during the National Anthem. Hockey’s the freakin best man.
Tampa bay loves sweet caroline by neil diamond. when palat was here it was his goal song !
I can hear it now... "Sweet undrafted gem...BA! BA! BA!"
thats my buddy lee on the ice for the golden knights intros :) oh and the intro song is from the john wick movie I think by I can't spell it uhh. le castle vania I think. Also every goal is with panic at the disco since they are from vegas.. So we heard it a lot last season
This was a great video! So many cool traditions and it makes me so proud that I’m a hockey fan. One underrated tradition for my favorite team, the sharks is right before the anthem everyone says “Hey (opposing team) You suck!”
I think it's funny how anthem singers know to anticipate that before they begin singing 😆 Go Sharks!
the caps have a video they play when they are down by one, up by only one, or tied late in the third period where they play a specialized hype video and get the the whole crowd at capital one to scream "UNLEASH THE FURY", you can find the video if you look it up its really cool and they even got tom green to record a line.
Flyers have a player of the game trophy, it changes every season. it was a Ric Flair robe, a starter jacket and I forget the others. I think other teams do this as well.
Oh, I think I remember the Ric Flair robe. Kind of reminds me of how some teams have a wrestling belt that they pass around or a giant chain lol. In particular, I like how the Kraken pass around a pirate hat.
Pens do it too this year its an old school bucket but its been a gadiator helmet and a few other things as well
One for Ottawa is there Entrance song, it’s been with them since there very first game
I got to see and get my picture taken with the Stanley cup when the Blackhawks won it in 2012/2013. I played drop in hockey with the hawks radio announcer. He brought it to hockey the day he had the cup
saw the cup in ‘17 after the penguins won it. mike sullivan is from my area and took it to one if the rinks i played at
The wild’s “lets go hockey” reminds me of the command to start engines given out in nascar and indycar
Sens fan here and an active tradition now is anytime artem zub touches the puck the entire crowd shouts zuuuuuuuuub
Flames fan here, you forgot to mention we shout C during the line "O Say Can you SEE" during the US anthem and Red when the singer sings "And the rockets RED glair"
Caps (and maybe other teams I don’t know) with individual goal songs for each player.
As a rangers fan I would have chosen the POTVIN sucks chant for sure definitely the one of most underrated traditions in the league
I may be incorrect, but didn't the goal horn originate with Chicago? I was disappointed when my Sabres adopted it because it wasn't their idea. Any maybe this falls under a different category, but I remember there was a fan at Canadiens games who used to play a trumpet to fire up the crowd. I'd see him sometimes on Hockey Night in Canada.
For the Avalanche the "hey hey hey" during goal celebrations.
The Flames with their fireballs that heat up the building when they score, announce the goal scorer, and victory. Their victory song is 'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash. Especially the part when he says 'I went down down down and the Flames went higher.'
My favorite Bruins tradition's the 7th man award.
Dallas Stars have my favorite goal song. Hard to say as a Philly sports fan but I love PanterA
🤘 🤘
