Hockey Fights - The Town Heroes

Thanks to all the extras that showed up- on and off the ice!
“Hockey Fights”- the newest single from The Town Heroes-is the most Canadian song you’ll hear all year. It’s certainly the only one that mentions Bobby Orr, Fireball whisky, blood, and the Halifax Mooseheads.
While falling for someone at a hockey game as a fight takes place on the ice isn’t the traditional backdrop for a love song, the universal power of connection has no boundaries. Love defies convention and “Hockey Fights" stands tall as an anthem for its ability to blossom in the most unexpected of places.
Infused with horns, fiddle, and lyrical storytelling akin to Jon Prine or Stan Rogers, "Hockey Fights" is an indie-folk romp through a half drunk, hormone fuelled night at the local arena.
"After hearing they were banning fighting in the QMJHL, I wanted to write something to capture the essence of that raw energy and passion in a song," says singer Mike Ryan, reflecting on the inspiration behind it. "There's something special about the intensity of those moments on the ice at a hockey game, and I wanted to celebrate that with the juxtaposition of falling in love in that same setting."
Hockey Fight joins the esteemed tradition of Canadian hockey songs, deeply rooted in working-class culture, nostalgia, and the enduring spirit of camaraderie found in communities across the nation.
Released world-wide May 10th, 2024 it’s the 4th single from The Town Heroes upcoming release SINGIN’.
LYRICS:
Hockey Fights
We got all buzzed on Fireball and stumbled to the game
The Moose were playing a French team and I couldn’t pronounce their name
Sun was setting early that October time of year
Leaves had fallen to the ground for the hurricanes to clear
Through the gate, slice of pizza, twelve dollars a drink
Living in the moment’s more expensive than you think
Find our seats, a couple “sorry’s” as we’re squeezing by
They drop the puck, I grab your hand, and look into your eye
ChorusThere were goals and a little blood
But it couldn’t get you off my mind
When they scored and the people buzzed
I was Bobby Orr in Overtime
Hockey fights and falling in love with you
Felt like getting rowdy but I thought to play it cool
Afterall they’re kids out there, butter not act like a fool
Arena was electric and felt the same myself
Kind like I inherited the richest countries wealth
Bridge
I see the way that this is going
I feel that this is only growing

Nice job. And nice NWT license plate. I’m from YELLOWKNIFE.
Not just another funny face. :) Absolutely masterfully beautiful! You don’t just wake up incredible musicians-it’s in your genes! Thank you for sharing your love of music!
Very cool guys!
hey bro that was awsome song thank yu for sharing
Absolute perfection! 🥰
Love you dudes. Just got my Spotify wrap today and "Babe Ruth" was my most played song of '22.
WOW👌 just realized when I saw the description on how good your voice would be doing Neil Young Covers. Let me tell you I wasn't wrong, completely amazing. My 3 year old daughter and I just watched this together. Safe to say you might have your youngest fan.
Holy smokes that note starting at 4:12 … just unreal ! And yay! For George making the cut! Hehe You guys are the best ❤
So awesome!
Wicked!
Perfection!
I love this song. In the dark time a producer would put this on the air until it hit number one or at lest top ten.
I love cape breton
I liked how you done the video, very innovative with the drummer vanishin'
We happened to be biking on the day this was being filmed. We saw a set of drums on the side of the road and got to speak with both members of the band. Somebody even took some of their equipment thinking it had been abandoned but later returned it. Great song and congrats to a good band!
You guys are so considerate. ❤
Bro it's literally all of my relationship trauma
This is genius, and the electric version is even better!
"That was a decent little take." well I guess
Ok then
Oh my God, how could I miss the last album😭😭😭. I apologize. Quickly likes and listens on spotify And merry Christmas from Russia you are cool
