I Wanna Be a Hockey DJ

I don’t know anything about the rules and regulations of what can or can’t be played during those brief times when play is stopped during a game, but I wanna be a hockey DJ.  I want to pick what songs are going to be played when there is that tiny moment of no action happening on the ice.

I know that there is a lot of debate among hockey fans that say the organ should reign supreme in the rink.  I’m not here to argue against that idea.  I actually dig the concept.  But have you caught some of the crap that gets played?  Especially in the states?!  You really expect Kelly Clarkson to get the crowd, yet alone the players, really fired up for the ensuing face off?

I would have to say that getting a gig like this would be a dream job.  One of those all-time, top five types of jobs.  Of course, if I were picking the playlist, I know I would get people asking who the hell I was playing.  I’m the type of DJ that plays music according to the situation.  Playing tunes for the sake of people knowing the music is difficult for me, but I’m not saying I wouldn’t play by those rules either.

  1. Hey. “D.J. Dave”, with the Canucks sounds a lot like your description. He agonizes over song selection, fights with his bosses about new material, and researches the players tastes for appropriate music. He found a copy of the 70’s song “Canucks, we love you” to use as a goal song on vintage jersey night.
    U.S. D.J.s don’t bother me nearly as much as some of their in-house announcers. “We’re going on the POOOOOWWWEEERRR PLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!”
    Jeesh!
