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](http://www.jughead.tv/News.html#anchor2902605) on [Jughead’s website](http://www.jughead.tv)  
Excerpt:

> 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)](http://www.jughead.tv/Hockey.rm)

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…
