One of my favorite things at the Minnesota Wild games is
singing along to the State of Hockey
song – if you don’t know the song by heart, start memorizing now so you can
sing a long with me and the crowd. I love to shout out “our mother was the
referee” – if you knew my siblings, you would understand!
State of Hockey
Lyrics
We were raised
With the stick
And a pair of blades
On the ice we cut our teeth
We took our knocks
In the penalty box
Our mother was the referee
This sport was here
Before we came
It will be here when we're gone
The game's in our blood
And our blood's in the game
Lay us down under
A frozen pond
We will fight to the end
We will stand and defend
Our flag flying high and free
We were born the child
Of the strong and Wild
In the State, the State of Hockey
A big blue line runs around our state
A line that can't be crossed
The day they try to take this game
Is the day the gloves come off
We will fight to the end
We will stand and defend
Our flag flying high and free
We were born the child
Of the strong and Wild
In the State, the State of Hockey
