So to start things off, if you aren’t already acquainted with Chappell Roan please get acquainted.
Just like the title says, I’m going to be going through every SHL team (yowie wowie) and seeing if fans of each team can chant their team name using the “HOT TO GO!” chorus. Or at the very least I’ll see if I can figure out a way a team can make it work. Starting with the SHL Atlanta Inferno Perfect example to start with as both “Atlanta” and “Inferno” are 7 letters long. The same amount as Hot To Go. Super easy, barely an inconvenience. I’d say you might as well rename the team to the Chappell Roans but then you wouldn’t be able to do the chant. How the chant would go: A-T-L-A-N-T-A *pause* I-N-F-E-R-N-O Very nice flow. Just doesn’t rhyme which bugs me. I’ll do one with just Atlanta. A-T-L-A-N-T-A *pause* We’ll score on you a-ny way! Rating: 9/10 Baltimore Platoon A trickier case here as Baltimore has too many letters, but Platoon is the perfect amount. The only question here is what do we do for the 2nd line? I’ll workshop it. How the chant would go: I’ll throw in a couple options P-L-A-T-O-O-N *pause* We score, there will be no end! Can’t but help to feel that this feels a little clunky. Trying too hard to make the rhyme work. P-L-A-T-O-O-N *pause* You know that we’re go-nna win! I kind of like this one a little better to be honest. When I repeat it to myself alone in my home, it sounds right. Rating: 8/10 (got there in the end) Buffalo Stampede The evil inverse to the Platoon. The location works with what I’m trying to do here, but the team name does not. I do like that it ends in an O, however. How the chant would go: B-U-F-F-A-L-O *pause* Our scor-ers are hot to go! Okay this may be cheating a little bit. But it just works so nicely. Miss Roan really had something good there. Alright, I’ll give you another one. B-U-F-F-A-L-O *pause* You could score, but we’ll say no! Rating: 7/10 Calgary Dragons Up next is Calgary. Another super easy team to work with cause both parts of the name are 7 letters each! How the chant would go: C-A-L-G-A-R-Y *pause* D-R-A-G-O-N-S! or alternatively: D-R-A-G-O-N-S *pause* We’ll burn you right down to ash! Or alternatively (and less edgy) C-A-L-G-A-R-Y *pause* We’re the ri-ders in the sky I actually really like this last one. Little reference to the song “Ghost Riders in the Sky by Johnny Cash which calls back to the Calgary Stampede, as well as Riders in the Sky referencing How to Train Your Dragon (in my head). Rating: 10/10 Chicago Syndicate 7 letters in Chicago, but far too many in Syndicate. How the chant would go: C-H-I-C-A-G-O *pause* Syn-di-cate in black and gold! Simple and effective. Rating: 8/10 Edmonton Blizzard To the shivering wasteland that is Edmonton. So surely they have something befitting of the name. How the chant would go: B-L-I-ZZ-A-R-D *pause* It’s ne-ga-tive four-ty three! Rating: Now that’s cold/10 Hamilton Steelhawks Our first real challenge. Hamilton has 8 letters. Steelhawks has 10. Neither really jump out with anything obvious. So we’ll have to get creative. How the chant would go: H-A-Doub-Le-U-K-S *pause* Ham-il-ton we are the best! I really hope this one is easy to understand. I had to extend the W to make things work but I think it went well! I’ll do another one that is a little bit funkier to make work. H-A-M-I-L-T-O-(n) *pause* We’ll be vic-tors in the end! Had to hide the n in the 7th(?) beat but I think we got it. Rating: 7/10 Los Angeles Panthers To the City of Angels for this one. Tough to work with, but doable. How the chant would go: P-A-N-T-H-E-R *pause* From the jun-gle we will roar A little bit cheesy but not the worst thing I’ve heard. A-N-G-E-L-E-S *pause* Ho-lly-wood’s the ve-ry best! Rating: 7/10 Manhattan Rage Another one I’ll have to get creative with. But if you think I can’t do it, you’re a sillyhead. How the chant would go: MAN-H-A-T-T-A-N *pause* Won’t stop un-til we score ten! I don’t think we can get much better than this for Manhattan. They just don’t have a ton to work with. Rating: 10/10 (I’m so good) Minnesota Monarchs Unsure what direction I’m gonna run with this as I’m writing, but surely I’ll come up with something good. How the chant would go: M-O-N-A-R-C-H *pause* Ro-yal-ty is pre-tty great! This one is mostly a joke. But it fits well enough. Rating: ?/10 Montreal Patriotes My team. My glorious team. Unfortunately it’s going to be tough with Montreal having 8 letters and Patriotes having 9. Also it should probably be in French as that would make the most sense. How the chant would go: M-O-N-T-R-ÉAL *pauses in French* Checké ben ça va faire mal! Had to run this one by a couple French speakers so shout out to Takk and Kalakar for the assist on this one. (If it doesn’t make sense, blame Takk and Kalakar. Idk I don’t speak French.) Rating: 10/10. Couldn’t get better than this, honestly New England Wolfpack Tricky as neither name really lends itself to what I’m trying to do here. How the chant would go: Doub-Le-U-O-L-F-Pack *pause* We’re the champs and we’ll be back! This one admittedly only really works so long as they’re the reigning champions. So get on it Wolfpack! Rating: 10/10 if used this season, 0/10 if used any other season New Orleans Specters Now you may be thinking: “Fishy, isn’t this the same situation as New England? Surely this will be tough.” And to that I say, “nah. I’d win.” How the chant would go: S-P-E-C-T-E-R *pause* We will haunt you in the dark! Works better if everyone dresses in spooky Halloween costumes or something. Idk. Rating: 8/10 Philadelphia Forge My worst nightmare for this media as Philadelphia is far too long, and Forge is far too short. How the chant would go: Phi-la-del-phi-a-a Forge *pause* we go hard in black and orange! Did I just rhyme Forge with Orange? You’re goddamn right. Rating: Four inch, orange, door hinge/10 San Francisco Pride Long ass name with no parts with 7 letters makes the Pride a tough play here. How the chant would go: We are San Fran-Cis-Co Pride *pause* You’d be-tter go run and hide! As you can see, it gets harder and harder with some of these names. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Rating: 6/10 Seattle Argonauts Seattle works nicely for the theme. But Argonauts works less so. How the chant would go: S-E-A-T-T-L-E *pause* We’re the Ar-gos from the Sea They can’t all be winners honestly. Rating: 5/10 Tampa Bay Barracuda The names seem to get longer the closer you get to the bottom of the alphabetic list. How the chant would go: T-A-M-P-A B-AY *pause* B-A-R-R-A-CUDA Not very creative as it’s just spelling out the name. But not every team is gonna have a fun rhyme. Rating: 6/10 Texas Renegades A very tough one upon first glance from Texas. How the chant would go: REN-E-G-E-D-E-S *Texas pause* We’ll take you down like the rest! Not incredible. But not horrible. This is as good as you’re gonna get, Texas. Rating: 7/10 Toronto North Stars This one is actually going to be easier than I initially expected. How the chant would go: T-O-R-O-N-T-O *pause* North Stars watch that goal light glow! It’s silly, it’s camp, it’s relevant to the sport. No notes. If you disagree, argue with a wall. jk ily all Rating: 10/10 Winnipeg Aurora Last up in the SHL, we have the Winnipeg Aurora. The W in Winnipeg and Aurora being clunky makes this one tough. How the chant would go: Doub-le-U-I-N-NIPEG *confused pause* this chant is just su-per vague! Okay not my best work. But what the hell are you gonna do with that? Rating: 4/10 That brings us to the very end. I may do the SMJHL in another piece but right now my brain is absolutely fried. I do enjoy the mental image of people trying to do the dance to go along with these chants, however.

chappell roan and pitch meeting reference all in one post I am so delighted
Also, I think this absolutely calls for a follow-up rating the dance moves for each of these, because some of them are going to require some serious creativity. I especially want to know how you do the É with your arms

10/10 article and now this song will be even more stuck in my head.
Personally I think Chicago is the best one.
