A Canadian Legend

Stompin' Tom Connors died yesterday. It's a sad time for Canadian music. Stompin' Tom's songs were totally original, patriotic and often, humourous. They were of this beautiful country of ours and of the people who live here. The following are a few of his songs with the first stanza.

The Good Old Hockey Game (The Hockey Song) 

Hello out there! We're on the air,
It's Hockey Night tonight;

And the puck goes down the ice.

And the fans all go insane;
Someone roars, "Bobby scores!"
At the good old hockey game.

 

Oh! The good old hockey game,
Is the best game you can name;
And the best game you can name,
Is the good old Hockey game
