Hockey fans — and teams — love their music and that was apparent Tuesday when #HockeyBands became a trending topic in Canada and remained one for hours upon hours.

To get an idea of what #HockeyBands was all about, here are a few examples off the top of my head (takes deep breath): Emerson Lake and Palmieri
Steely Dandenault
Bob Marley and the Hartford Whalers
The Beech Boyes
Mike Green Day
Ref Leppard
Boyz 2 Benn
Mandervillage People
Berezin Naked Ladies
The Jackson 5-minute majors
And for all you fans of the true oldies: The Ink Steve Spotts, Vera Byfuglien and MozArt Ross.

Boom. Nailed it.
