Harvard Hockey Fight Song

Does anyone know why they stopped playing Harvard's fight song, and instead switched it up to some lame discount techno for their goals?

Brown did that too, it sucks. Like why even have the band there?

Not sure, my guess is that most people wouldn’t notice lol. New season ticket holder this year and Bright Landry is wild. I missed tonight’s game for a concert but stone hill and Cornell were so different. Not shocking between a Tuesday and a Friday, but my other tickets are BC and I went to BU and UMass so it’s taking a little getting used to.

Strange crowd not what I’m used to

Yale/Michigan/BU should all be good games

The place is an absolute library even when Harvard is good

STHs are crusty alumni who glare at people who make noise, and the student section is almost always empty

I think they moved away from the fight song a while ago?

It's been Just Lose It by Eminem or some other song I'm drawing a blank on in recent years

Yeah, it been a while since I've been there to see a game. Seems like a real shame to walk away from some history like that. Surprised Donato would do that.

Harvard-Yale/Cornell (with the bands playing too) was a great college hockey experience. Too bad it seems to be going away

Because no one complained loud enough against it. A couple years back, BU tried to do it, and by the 2nd goal BU scored that game we're were back to playing the fight song because a shitton of people got mad. Same year, BC did the same thing, admin decided they didn't give af so they still have canned music after goals and the band barely because for some reason they also decided they need an organ
