NHL's Best Goal Horns & Anthems

0:00On March 14th, here's the latest surrounding the NHL. NHL teams blast the signature horn and play an upbeat song every time they score at home, firing up the crowd and building team spirit. This tradition started in the 1970s with the Chicago Black Hawks. Their owner loved the horn on his yacht so much, he brought it to Chicago Stadium. Fans came to expect that deep blast after every goal. When the Black Hawks moved to the United Center, the horn went with them. By then, other teams like those in Minnesota and Buffalo had picked up the idea in the 1980s. Soon, all 32 NHL clubs had their own versions, pairing horns with energizing anthems to create that stadium roar feel. Fans go wild for the celebrations, chanting along and feeling the rush while opponents find them grating. Some horns mimic trains or ships, others sound like fire trucks or fog horns. Songs often nod to local bands, like panic at the disco for Vegas or Pantera for Dallas,

Chicago's ship horn, with Chelsea Dagger, took third, Ranger's second with their vintage car blare and custom slap-shot tune. Bottom spots went to Florida, Seattle and San Jose for less punchy combos. Taste and horns and songs is totally subjective, and being in the arena amps everything up. Teams keep tweaking for better fanbibes, proving these simple blasts make home eyes feel unbeatable. D&N is sponsored by our partner, check out the episode description.
