Title/performer of hockey song

[D18]

The few times I was at Maple Leaf Gardens they played a song about hockey and I’d like to find out the title/performer of.

It’s a country song (and no, it is NOT “The Hockey Song” by Stompin’ Tom) that’s a parody of “I’ve been everywhere”. The scenario is this guy’s visiting some other country/countries and when they find out that he’s from Canada, they ask “Do you play hockey?” The singer replies “Do I play hockey? Well I play . . .” and then launches into a patter along the lines of “I play ice hockey, street hockey, ball hockey, etc. etc.”

Thanks.

Apparently it is called Hockey Song by the group Jughead, at least according to this article on Jughead’s website
Excerpt:

If there’s any justice in the music world, Hockey Song by Jughead, not to be confused with The Hockey Song
by Canadian icon Stompin’ Tom Connors, will generate similar interest. It’s a delightful ditty about a
travelling Canadian who is continually asked by locals if he plays hockey.
His reply: “Do I play hockey? Well I play air hockey, ball hockey, barn hockey, bubble hockey, field hockey,
floor hockey, ice hockey, kitchen hockey, road hockey, roller hockey, table hockey, twist hockey, and I play
hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, all the time. Take shots.”
It’s brilliant. Canada’s answer to American Pie.

Of course, you probably just want to listen to it (RealPlayer)

I saw them live a few years back. Pretty funny stuff. They did a cover of Motorhead’s Ace of Spades. The Hockey Song is on a couple of cds including their own release, a release by the Hockey Hall of Fame and Puck Rock Vol.1, which is the (musical) Hanson Brothers (who are basically Nomeansno) first hockey themed punk rock compilation. I believe they have two out at this point. I haven’t heard the second but the first one is pretty good… they even have an Australian band on it. Hmmm…
