Thanks for watching, Twisters! I love making videos about fun topics in hockey culture like goal horns, team traditions, and logos & jerseys. But in order to keep dedicating myself to this full-time, I need help. In short, I'm interested in knowing how many viewers may be interested in supporting the channel as an investor - someone who makes a one-time contribution and earns back a small percentage of the channel's revenue. If you have any interest in helping this way, head over to twistedwrister.oversubscribe.co/ to indicate that you'd hypothetically consider investing in our channel & community. Which NHL Goal Horns are your favorites? Comment below, and stick around for more fun NHL rankings!

Buffalo

[@ryderholloway8982]

5. New Jersey Devils Not the horn but the « hey! You suck » 4. Buffalo Sabres Great goal horn, pumps up fans for the few wins Buffalo gets(their forward group is stacked they score a lot but the defenders and goalies let them down) 3. Dallas Stars SALAD, BARS, SALAD, BARS! 2. New York Rangers Chant is unmatchable, goal horn is also sick. 1. Calgary Flames Maybe biased, but goal horn combined with literally FLAMES coming out of the jumbotron and TNT by AC/DC, perfection. (Calgary is also my favourite team so I’ve seen and heard it a million times and it never gets old) Bonus: Worst goal horns are Winnipeg and Anaheim

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

[@Jenna._.Blais16]

Boston Bruins Toronto Maple Leafs Arizona coyotes New Jersey Devils Anaheim ducks I’m here for the Boston Bruins. I love their goal horn so much.

[@tammytreit3877]

A cool fact about the Kraken horn is that it’s from a real ferry that was decommissioned (the Hyak). They had to dampen the sound with acoustic materials because ferry horns have to be heard for miles.

[@frostynick4226]

[@davidmartin8015]

The Stars’ goal horn could wake the dead. Loud, beautiful, and complete sound in person. The chant is such a perfect cherry on top

[@StarsFanRL]

agreed

[@fikx262]

DALLAS STARS 🌟!!!!!

[@guidosarducci166]

Stars was an absolute great pick. I am a lifelong Blackhawks fan and have been to a ton of games, but my first Stars game when that horn sounded and the song came on it was amazing. The Stars organization has really gone above and beyond to promote and support hockey in the DFW area.

[@StarsFanRL]

agree

[@WindyCityHawkey]

The Blackhawks were 1st team with a goal horn and one of the most iconic goal songs to follow yes I'm Blackhawks fan but it's still the great horn and song because it still ticks off any other team fan and players when it goes off. Chelsea Dagger forever.

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

it is so lame

[@nelspaulson3099]

The original goal horn was also from the USS Chicago. Do not know if they have move on from it.

[@kylefox6611]

As a Canucks fan, this goal horn haunts me. Objectively it is one of the best in the league

[@ToddCrispies]

No it was not. The Hawks first horn was from Bill Wirtz yacht.

[@trinitysantana1665]

Dagger is iconic. We used it for my HS team and it still gets stuck in my head lol

[@bcrogers2318]

That “Y’all” for Nashville is pretty funny lol

[@alanvanasch4793]

The Hurricanes horn is one of those that is hard to translate to a recording. In person it sounds great and because it's fairly deep you can almost feel it, but in something like this it really does sound atrocious

[@nchondakid]

I definitely agree. The horn sounds bad on video but it’s a lot higher on this list if you’re in person to actually hear and feel it.

[@tkhockey1]

Great video! Awesome that the community got some say as well! My bias has Montreal up very high, i was mildly upset lol. 🤣 Keep up the content! Ready for the power rankings at all star break!

[@Rhulk843]

I’m not even a fan of these teams but the Rangers’ and the Wild’s are elite

[@Colowkey]

I was waiting so patiently to see where you’d put the Bruins…I am not disappointed, great list man.

[@spookybells5099]

Omg I was literally doing the same thing 😂

[@dapperhobo7264]

Kraken horn and the goal song is top tier.

[@tenminutemiler]

Yes! Nirvana wad also from the “Seattle scene”, so definitely a perfect mix. My favorite

[@juckoosaurus]

as a new fan of NHL from outside the US I love Anaheim's horn because its so deep my favourites are Dallas, Anaheim and Boston,

[@idangreenz9389]

❤ 🦆

[@gabeschmidt8874]

The wild goal horn out of all my years watching the team, I’ve never heard the siren. Only the horn and shout (or in previous years, crowd chant)

[@hayleyb2723]

Came here to see if anybody else commented this. The hubby and I looked at each other confused when the sirens came on.

[@austinblankenship7631]

There's not much to get excited for as a CBJ fan, but I love our goal song, even the transition. Wish maybe it went into a song that was more rock and roll after saying "for those about to rock," but it's still a super fun one and is an underrated atmosphere in the NHL

[@lukewindholtz5294]

Can't beat that cannon

[@machinegunc1325]

Just came from your other channel, subbed to both. Love ur jersey, im a cbj fan

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Much appreciated!

[@Emma-lb2mu]

the oilers goal horn is definitely annoying BUT being in rogers place when that goal horn goes off is absolutely INSANE. it’s so chaotic and fans get absolutely wild so it’s such a cool feelings

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

That's definitely evident on TV alone. Wouldn't mind seeing that a few more times this spring.

[@professorhattar3548]

Canucks fans STILL get PTSD from chelsea dagger to this day lol

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

I hear ya, that 2010 Conference Final against my Sharks was brütal!

[@RitaElvea]

I think the Bruins song is really cool...😄

[@Sadorisgod]

It’s actually native to New England because they use a lighthouse horn

[@broadstreetbullies849]

Lmao yous guys. Love it

[@14cole19]

As a Hawks fan, my top 3: 1.) CHI 2.) STL 3.) DAL Lets be real here. The STL and DAL songs are absolutely 🔥🔥🔥. I like the Blues' slightly more just because it has a catchier motif. But the Hawks song is the PERFECT goal song. For the fans, it is super catchy and fun to sing w/ so much energy. But for the opposition, it grinds their gears and gets under the opposing fan's/team's skins. The fact that people got so sick of it is a good indicator as to why it was an AMAZING choice. Just ask the Canucks

[@AndrewBarnes-uq9ou]

Dallas stars overall have the best air horn a d it is amazing❤

[@StarsFanRL]

agreed

[@subienorris]

I love the Avs horn. It's loud and the blasts make it sound like a war horn. To battle!!

[@Ahuman_be1ng]

The blues have a live organist there playing, he doesn’t only play during goal horns and plays during intermissions Edit:His channel is Jeremy Boyer if you want to check him out!

[@falloutfan6649]

The Red Wings horn now is a terrible recording of the horn that was used at Joe Louis Arena. Before the move to Little Caesars Arena most people would have the Wings’ horn in their top 10 or even top 5. It used to be so great

[@ryans4116]

Atleast back to the real horn now

[@LV_theKING_923]

For Nashville he changed “You” to “Y’all”

[@ayeverducci]

Oilers is so underrated, I always hear the crowd go wild with their horn and song after a goal!

[@charlescastonguay7648]

Great video! I know I’m biased because I live there but the Ottawa Senators is so iconic to me. Would’ve definitely put it in my top 5

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Woohoo!

[@JudeTv98]

Shoutout to this guy for not moving a muscle while the videos are playing 😆

[@HarleySchmidt-zx8bk]

my top 3 are boston, oilers, and blackhawks

[@thepurplemage1]

so all of my least favourite

[@jbejaran]

Sharks fan here. San Jose's actual goal horn by itself is probably the best in the league. That song is tired, though. It's a fun song, but as a goal song it badly needs a refresh. Honestly, I'd love to hear the Wellerman, Drunken Sailor, or one of the other sea shanties that have been big lately. Definitely fits the nautical theme.

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Maybe the Alestorm version of the Wellerman? The only drawback is that the Kraken plays that from time to time (but not as their goal song). But I hear ya, time for a change! I miss the energy of the Shark Tank in its prime...that barn was intimidating.

[@jbejaran]

@@TwistedWristerHockey Hell, I bet Metallica would make an amazing version of it, if the Sharks asked. :)

[@Biochemedic]

Unfortunately, I can't really see where you're coming from about San Jose's horn being the best. I can however agree that the song used is kinda mid, and that there could be a better one used. If I'm being honest, my top 5 probably goes: 1 Pittsburgh 2 Dallas 3 Boston 4 Carolina 5 Nashville.

[@Trifecta_Sports]

Winnipegs horn is amazing coming from a Wild fan. The best is still probably Calgary though.

[@FateViews]

Late comment, but having Oilers at 30 and Bruins at 4th is craaazy when they're basically the same vibe.

[@USArmyVet91]

My man! Fair ranking for the Sabres… one of the best goal horns for sure. 🗡️🗡️🗡️

[@meganwilliams8494]

Personally as someone who grew up as a caps fan and is now a devils fan, I miss the sirens so much😔 it was so hype in the capital one arena

[@fatimaabeleda6730]

Hey Nick! Did you upload this video because of my comment on your winter classic rating video?

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

I honestly can't recall, but I would not be surprised if that was the one that finally made me think, "Everyone loves talking about goal horns so much, it's about darn time I weigh in!"

[@sirekumasutra7022]

I love the y´all for Nashville 😂

[@mattforner]

Blackhawks fan since I was a kid and grew up in the Chicago suburbs. I went to a bunch of games in Dallas when attending college down there, and the Stars became the second team that I root for. Great to see that both made it into your top 3! Both have awesome goal horns.

[@aexious]

Unlike other horns, this one is an actual musical chord. That's why it works.

[@-RunninNGunnin-]

I'm from Finland and a long time Avs supporter! My favorites are Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and of course AVS!! 😂 Also Sabres have a very good goal horn. I'm not a big fan of Kanye but that Touch The Sky song is a very good and uplifting song.

[@healthyhabits3374]

Boston 👍

[@isaac502i3]

As a preds fan, I’m a bit bitter that it cut out most of the audio of the crowd after a goal. Here it is: *horn* I like it, I love it, I want some more of it, I’ve tried, so hard, I can’t rise above it, I don’t know what it is about the predators scoring but I like it, I love it, I want some more of it. Crowd: “HEY, YOU SUCK!” “HEY, YOU SUCK!” “HEY, YOU SUCK! WE’RE GONNA BEAT THE HELL OUTTA YOU!” “YOU!” “YOU!” “YOU! YOU! YOU!” Go preds!

[@carterkubis6843]

Buddy was out for blood with the Canadian team’s horns 😭

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Can't you see, I'm in line to become the next commissioner after Bettman 😂 But for the record, that was not my intent! Calgary knows what's up though.

[@Bruno-wn5sh]

The fact that the people voted the Blackhawks at 12 and the rangers at 6 is crazy

[@tr1nity278]

Just watching this now and when your in Canada life centre at a jets game the horn doesn’t sound muted in person.

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Hopefully one of these days I'll find out for myself 😃

[@neverchanging769]

The part I like about this debate is I have the redwings 1 and other people have it so low

Interesting! Is that based on the horn in the video, or is it based on the actual arena experience?

Gotta say that the Sens goal horn live is really good (I’m a Sens fan tho)

NJ Devils Top 10 Worst: 1. Montreal 2. Colorado 3. Edmonton 4. Boston (ITS SO OVERRATED) 5. Ottawa 6. Vancouver 7. NY Rangers 8. Vegas 9. Calgary 10. Carolina

Idk if it’s just me but whenever I hear the blackhawks goal horn on TV it sounds insane with a deep bass sound but on these previews it sounds extremely different.

[@kevo6987]

Heck yeah!! Let's go Stars!!!

[@aaronpreston13]

nothing against Elite Goal Horns, he does an amazing job, the video really does a disservice to 'Canes Goal Horn. It is so much louder than that. Fills the arena and then some when you are there! Should be minimum in the top 10 at 10. I'm not just saying that as a 'Canes fan! Also fun fact the 'Canes use the same Goal Horn the Whalers did! Some Goal Horn Ranking coming later.

[@hax0n23]

Yes completely agree. I haven't found a recording anywhere that does it any sort of justice. Don't even talk to me about the NHL '23 version.

[@bencubus1814]

I ranked horns in the survey purely based on the horn, considering three factors; 1. Complexity, 2. Chord used (if any, because some are just one note) and, 3. Impact. Some of the horns I ranked highly bombed on your ratings and some that I ranked really low were really high, which is super interesting. For example, I hate Nashville's horn. It's very similar to Edmonton's in that it's a really ugly, dissonant chord. I love Jersey's horn and that was a contentious one, and LA's one was alright in that it was kind of unique. Top four are great, and I love the Number one choice, though! That horn is great and having Pantera included in the celebration with their own work is such a great touch!

[@sparkyshore3543]

Nashville uses a C♯7 chord. Perfectly normal chord. Same chord as Buffalo. Edmonton uses a dissonant mess. Absolutely no comparison.

[@bencubus1814]

@@sparkyshore3543 tone makes an impact, so maybe that was a factor in my comparison. I'm a drummer, so I suck at music theory. But using a derogatory term, like, "mess", in regard to any chord indicates a lack of appreciation for jazz 😝

[@sparkyshore3543]

@@bencubus1814 What jazz player plays an E minor triad + ♯3 chord? On horns? Or would you rather I called it an E dim double-♭ 5? Have you ever heard an E, G, and G♯ in the same octave on the same instrument at the same time and thought "wow, that would make a good jazz chord!"? I thought not. I stand by calling it a mess. And to make it even worse, the goal song that plays over it is in F minor.

[@geo_ashburn]

I'm a Columbus Blue Jackets fan and I have to agree with you how about their goal horn. The cannon fire itself is unique and I explained the civil war history with the nickname. They should use the end of For Those About To Rock with the constant cannon fire and Angus Young's guitar riff. That would make it rock more
