I am hoping to conjure up up a list of fan rituals/things that identify a team and their venue as being unique. For example with Winnipeg I'd probably say the White Out, Dancing Gabe and the sheer noise level identify our fan atmosphere in Winnipeg. In Detroit you would say throwin Octo and singin Journey when they win. Chicago you would certainly identify with the Organ etc. In Vancouver, its Loouu...followed by someone complaining about the refs. Any out of towners want to speak to their venue traditions? Sometimes its the things that arent so mainstream obvious that are most interesting. Help me build this list as I need to pass time until Schedule/Name/Draft/FA go into full swing...so do you  |

Columbus Blue Jackets - Cannon blast after a goal. Don't even get me started on that. Pittsburgh Steelers - Terrible Towel and Renegade by Styx with a video montage to fire up the defense. Very powerful, a must see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=irWFrU7LjWw&feature=related Hard to hear the song. Crowd gets louder than ever. |

- Philadelphia Eagles - Don't forget the 700 level in the legendary Veterans Stadium! While the stadium is already gone, the legend still lives on!
- Buffalo Sabres have Taro Tsujimoto - "Taro Says" quotes, the "We Want Taro!" chants when they have a very s***** game. Not sure if they still do that anymore however!
- Minnesota Wild retiring their #1 jersey for the fans on the rafters!
- Montreal Canadiens - Rioting after winning the Cup - and more recently, after winning heated playoff series battles! And that "OLEEE! OLEEEE! OLEEEE! OLEEEEE! OLEEEEEE! OLEEEEEE!" chant!
- Vancouver Canucks - Rioting after losing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals!

Flyers - Playing a recording of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" during the playoffs.
Habs - Kid with a torch prior to a playoff game.
Chicago Cubs - "Take me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th Inning stretch (often emulated, but never duplicated)
Boston Red Sox - MAAAAHHHHHHNNNN-STARRRR yell after a HR over the Green Monster.

Some AHL traditions I've found on my travels:
Hershey: B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T chant. Classless *expletive storm ensues*.
Chicago Wolves: 90000kilos of fireworks and pyro and all that cool stuff
Connecticut Whale (Also applies for HFD Whalers): BRASS BONANZA AND PUCKY THE WHALE! So glad they're back!
Rockford Ice Hogs: "HEY GUESS WHAT YOUR GOALIE SUCKS!"
Abbotsford Heat: Burn It To The Ground. Ugh. I hate Nickelback
St. John's franchises: PIPE DREAMS!
Any city with a Devils affiliate: Don't show up to games. Trenton and Albany both finished at or near the bottom of their leagues in attendance (and Lowell the year before)
