[Verse 1]
On ponds and on rinks and on Olympic stages
Canadians have played it, all through the ages
It's part of our heart, part of our psyche
Our country bleeds red, white and hockey

Maybe its the winter
Maybe its the water

It's a birthright passed to our sons and our daughters
We're given our hearts and our teeth and our blood
For the glories, the stories
The game that we love

[Verse 2]
We are proud Canadians
We shout across the land
And hockey is a language
That we can all understand

Philip Esposito
Frank Mahovlich and Orr
In 1972, we showed the Russians to the door

So call us corny but you'd clеarly agree
We are clearly motivatеd by it spiritually
This love affair needs no defence
Eight months of winter don't make no sense
[Chorus]
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
The greatest's game in the land!

[Verse 3]
A rink on every corner and we light it up at night
And if the boys get hammered, then you're sure to see a fight
Oh well, we'll get you next time cause revenge will taste so sweet
We will bring some double-doubles and a dozen Boston creams

So call us horny, every weekend's the same
The TV's in the bedroom so we can both see the game (SCORRRREEEE!)
This love affair needs no defence
8 months of winter don't make no sense

[Chorus]
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
The greatest's game in the land!

[Verse 4]
Land of Fanatics, Puck-head and addicts
Goalpost ringing from sea to sea
A no-look pass, hard rough tough and fast
And if you don't like it, you can kiss our ass
[Bridge]
1-2-3-4...

[All]
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
The greatest's game in the land!

[Brampton Blades]
Moosejaw to Newfoundland, this we understand
Cause hockey, hockey, is the greatest game in the land!

[Edgar & Hope Gordon]
Pugilist or pacifist
We can all be fans
Cause hockey, hockey, is the greatest game in the land!

[Claudette]
Wickenheiser, Cassie Campbell
You can be a woman
Hockey, hockey, is the greatest game in the land!

[All]
We are proud Canadians, hockey's in our DNA
We are proud Canadians and we're not afraid to say
We are proud Canadians and we'll always find a way
Playin' hockey, hockey
The greatest game in the land!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
Oh, o-oo-oh oh! Hockey! Hockey!
The greatest game in the land!
