The Hockey Song

Based on the unforgettable ode to the greatest game on ice, The Hockey Song is a perfect gift for the hockey fans and young players in your life.

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.

Played before, after, and during hockey games across North America, Stompin' Tom Connors' iconic song evokes the pure joy the good ol' hockey brings to players and fans alike. Gary Clement's illustrations bring the song to life through depicting a pick-up game on a cold city rink. A father and son are soon joined by skater after skater, until the whole community is grabbing a stick-passing, shooting, scoring, and having the time of their lives.

A fresh take on a classic song, The Hockey Song is a tribute to hockey, winter, and having fun with the best game you can name.

Charles Thomas "Stompin' Tom" Connors crisscrossed Canada singing songs he had written about its workers, sailors, farmers, working women and other humble people becoming one of the most successful musicians of all times.

Gary Clement is an award-winning author and illustrator. He has won the Governor General's Award for The Great Poochini. He is the editorial cartoonist for the National Post, and his work has appeared in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

As Stompin' Tom Connors sings, "It's the good old hockey game, the best game you can name." And in this charmingly illustrated book for all ages, the classic song played at hockey games around the world is imagined as a shinny game on an outdoor rink in the middle of the city that starts with two players and soon grows to include the whole community. "The puck is in! The hometown wins! The good ol' hockey game."
