1. The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up (Noisia Remix)

Noisia comes out with an absolutely ferocious remix of an already spine-tingling hype song by The Prodigy. Nothing quite gets a team ready to play physical hockey like a song about imposing your will on the other team. Absolute must right before puck drop.

2. Mick Gordon & Omega Sparx - I'm Back (to Rise!

Originally created for the remake of the Killer Instinct video game, Composer Mick Gordon and guest rapper Omega Sparx combine for one of the best hype songs I've heard in years. Written about a boxer making his return to the ring, I'm Back (to Rise) provides the perfect combo of tempo and musicality to get the team hyped pre-game.

3. Run the Jewels [featuring Zack De La Rocha] - Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)

Just straight up badass. Nothing else can really be said about this song. RTJ puts out about 5-6 songs an album that could be featured on this list. Adding ZDLR to the mix only makes this song much more amazing. You can catch everyone in the locker room getting into this song when it comes on.

4. Carpenter Brut - Turbo Killer

A different brand of hype song, Turbo Killer just gets the team ready for the speed of the game. Ready to put their skill on show. Carpenter Brut plays a mixture of synthwave and rock, blending it seemlessly to be one of the most powerful hype songs on this list. A lesser known masterpiece found directly in the middle of the playlist.

5. Rob Zombie - Superbeast

Cheesy as fuck. That's about all you can really say about Superbeast. But nobody can deny when the song comes on over the speakers that everyone starts banging their heads and singing along with the stupid lyrics. Just a song proving that stupid can indeed be inspiring.

6. Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack (C & J Street Mix)

Another Cheesy song, for sure, but instead of relying on ridiculous lyrics or an increased beat - Return of the Mack just makes everyone feel like they are the best player on the ice. I (Kraaijkamp) am sure glad this song reminds me I am, indeed, the Mack.

7. Noisia - Mundus Theme

The only returning artist on the list, Noisia makes a strong follow-up to their wicked remix of Smack My Bitch Up with another song pinpoint focused on making the players understand their superiority to the other squad. With a gutpunching snares, rumbling bass and lyrics such as "You don't fuck witht a god", Noisia is ready to remind you just who you are.

8. Aly & Fila - Rosaires

I cap out my extended eight song playlist with a trance song meant to get the players feeling good. Some of the prior songs have some hard edges, and while boosting morale, can also leave some jitters. Rosaires is a silky smooth progressive trance tune that one can listen to and just feel good about what is coming at them that day. Aly & Fila do a great job putting the finishing touches on a playlist meant to - incite - emotions.
