Anybody knows songs about hockey players?
I know two songs:
Glenn Ford & The Piers - "What's Wrong With Lumme?"
I haven't heard this and i haven't found it anywhere.
Ne Luumäet - "Tie Domi (Poliisi)"
I have this song on my computer. Song name is in English: "Tie Domi (Enforcer)".

American SKA band Golfinger did a song called "Wayne Gretzky". Gretzky's been in a few videos too, Nickelback's "Rockstar" and "Dreamweaver" by Gary Wright.

"Wayne Gretzky Rocks" by The Pursuit of Happiness.
"The Ballad of Wendel Clark" by The Rheostatics.
"50-Mission Cap" by The Tragically Hip has a lot of hockey references including Bill Barilko.

I love this song! RIP Warren Zevon.
I read something a while back that Kevin Smith was planning on adapting this song into a movie and setting it during the WHA days.

Gordie Howe (Is The Greatest Of Them All) by Bob Davies
This page says this was the first song about a hockey player.
http://habsinsideout.com/main/1432
"Dave Stubbs spoke with Davies and Howe about the first song ever recorded about a hockey player – it helped define Davies's career and it embarrassed Gordie, though clearly he remains delighted by it to this day."
Davies would also write hockey tributes to the Canadiens' Jean (John) Béliveau and Chicago's Bobby Hull. And with his kind permission, those songs, and others, are available to Inside/Out readers below for listening or free download."
Also, the following link

I can't believe no one mentioned this yet.
Thanks
