Mn Wild State Of Hockey Song
The Minnesota Wild hockey team has a loyal fan base that prides itself in being part of the "State of Hockey", a term that describes Minnesota as a hotbed for hockey. The team's anthem, aptly titled "State of Hockey", was introduced in 2018 as a tribute to the team's fans and the state's love for the sport.
The Making of the Song
The song was a collaboration between the Minnesota Wild and local musicians Tyler Arndt and John Hermanson. The team approached the duo to create a catchy and anthemic song that would embody the spirit of the "State of Hockey".
Arndt and Hermanson worked on the song for several months, writing and recording the lyrics and music while keeping the team's input and feedback in mind. The result was a rousing and upbeat song that celebrates the passion and pride of Minnesota's hockey culture.
The Lyrics
"State of Hockey" starts with a chant of "Let's play hockey!" and goes on to describe the excitement and intensity of the game. The lyrics also pay homage to Minnesota's rich hockey history and the generations of players who have contributed to the sport.
Some of the standout lyrics include:
- "From the smallest town to the biggest city, we all bleed green and gold"
- "We are the State of Hockey, where the ice is always cold"
- "We're born to play, it's in our DNA, we're the home of hockey, USA"
The Reception
The song was a hit with the fans, who embraced it as their own and made it a staple at Wild games. The team also released a music video featuring players and fans singing and dancing along to the song, further cementing its popularity.
But the song's impact went beyond the arena. It became a symbol of Minnesota's hockey culture, and was even played at non-Wild hockey events in the state.
The Legacy
Two years after its release, "State of Hockey" remains a beloved anthem for Minnesota hockey fans. It has become a source of pride for the state and a reminder of the deep connection between Minnesota and the sport of hockey.
But beyond its catchy tune and inspiring lyrics, the song is a testament to the power of music and sports to unite people and communities.
