Do any of the prominent Canadian rock bands/artists have noted hockey affiliations?

Rheostatics are Leafs fans, Bidini is for sure.
Diana Krall is a Canucks fan, pretty sure. Only way I know this is a friend of the family was at a record signing aaaaages ago and he was wearing a Wings jersey and she commented on Fedorov and mentioned that she followed the Canucks. May have been just small talk.
Think Nivek Ogre is a Flames fan, but pretty indifferent to hockey overall.
Céline Dion was seen pumping the Vegas Knights, but she was a big Habs fan in the day.

Can’t tell you any Canadian rock stars, but there’s a few kind of close. He’s a country singer, but Brett Kissel is a huge Oiler fan. And he’s not Canadian, but Daron Malakian (System of a down) is an Oiler fan. 50 Cent also rocks Oilers gear pretty regularly, but I don’t know how much of a fan he is

She didn't exactly go all out on those other ones. She is also from Timmins( and was born in windsor) tends to be habs country. Though I have to admit playing to the crowd is important showmanship.

She wore a bunch of those outfits (including the Habs one) when she hosted the Juno awards.

Goo Goo Dolls are huge Sabres fans

Bayside are big Rangers fans, they've even put out Rangers inspired merchandise.

Simple Plan are Habs fans.

Think some of The Bouncing Souls are Devils fans.

Pantera were huge Stars fans and even did the team's goal song.

Pretty sure Pennywise are Ducks fans.

I thought the Tragically Hip were more affiliated with the Maple Leafs.






No, Gord was a Bruins fan. He was a hockey fan in general though, and in 50 Mission Cap told the story of Bill Barilko, the fishing trip he never came back from and the cup winning goal he scored and the Leafs not winning the cup again until the year his body was found etc.

I already knew what the song was about.
