I think honestly it depends on the game. I think footballers tend to get it right - ham it up when the game's close and you just scored a huge goal, something more subdued if it's in the middle of a blowout on either side. It's also tougher to choreograph something more sophisticated when you're on ice skates. That being said, may I take this opportunity to rant about the staple of all hockey goal celebrations? Because there is very little in the sport of ice hockey I hate more than the goal horn. I should preface this with the fact that I do have sensory issues (the World Juniors in Edmonton were legitimately unwatchable). But even if I didn't, I'm a believer in sports culture should be driven by the fans. Drowning them out with a loud obnoxious boat/train horn is anti-fan, and the fact that it's so central to hockey culture - especially in the USA and Canada - is proof that hockey HAS no culture. Or at least a positive one. The only horns I can kinda tolerate are lighter ones easier on the ears (looking at you, Winnipeg Jets). Music? Fine with me. Horns? Fuck off. If your horn is deafening I hope your team never wins a damn thing. |
