The chorus can send shivers down the spine of any Canadian, even in the middle of the winter. “The Hockey Song”, by Stompin' Tom Connors, is as Canadian as Hockey Night In Canada or a steaming cup of Timmies. “The good old hockey game, is the best game you can name,” the song’s famous chorus goes.

[Verse 1]
Hello out there, we're on the air, it's 'Hockey Night' tonight.
Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice
The goalie jumps, and the players bump, and the fans all go insane
Someone roars, "Bobby Scores!", at the good ol' Hockey Game
[Chorus]
OH! The good ol' Hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good ol' Hockey game
Second Period.
[Verse 2]
Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind
But they grab the puck, and go bursting up, and they're down across the line
They storm the crease, like bumble bees, they travel like a burning flame
We see them slide, the puck inside, it's a 1-1 hockey game
(Chorus)
Third Period. Last game of the playoff too!
[Verse 3]
Oh take me where, the hockey players, face off down the rink
And the Stanley Cup, is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink
Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and the one gigantic scream
"The puck is in! The home team wins!", the good ol' hockey game
(Chorus x3)
(It's in!)(He shoots, he scores!)(Henderson scores for Canada!)
