The (New) Hockey Song

It would have been more of a tribute if the puck was dropped by a disabled vet. https://t.co/mQIN0NKFf1 #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/um7HxKoinb

I’m seeing alarming tweeted images of military men taking over a Maple Leafs game with weapons drawn.

Oh wait, it’s a gimmick. Well then.

“What would Stompin’ Tom say to this?”
Possibly:

Hello out there, we’re on the air, it’s military time,
The camo’s out, let’s give a shout
They’re stopping every dime. Tension grows, & the fans are all insane, The jets roar, & Harper bores, it’s the good ol’ national shame.
Oh, the good ol’ national shame, it’s the best game you can change, and the best game you can change, is the good ol’ national shame.

I was fortunate to have seen Stompin’ Tom in 2002.
