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

It's widely known Bieber is a Leafs fan, him wearing other jerseys doesn't mean much of anything. It's like Snoop Dogg, well known he's a Duck fan, but he wears hockey jerseys for everyone too

Leonard Cohen was a Hab.

Found this for Alanis Morissette: 'Captain' Morissette looking forward to Face-Off Rocks

"Believe it or not, Morissette is an honorary captain of the Ottawa Senators, a title she's kept since singing the national anthem before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa in 2007.

"I kind of cut my teeth with (Ottawa), to be honest, as I used to sing the national anthem there, sometimes with my twin brother (Wade), when I was a young girl," she said.

She was glad to hear the NHL, and in particular her favorite team, the Senators, had branched out to Europe to kick off the season."

In this case he might actually be right though. The Canadian music scene is an embarrassment

I think the "music" scene in general is an embarrassment. When I want to hear genuine music I turn to YouTube . There are some amazing artists that lack a giant PR machine and phoney image and just plain make great music.

George Canyon is the Flames anthem singer and according to Wikipedia, he's won two Juno Awards and 7 Canadian Country Music Association Awards

Harry Sinden was Gord Downie’s godfather.

50 Mission Cap is still a great story, but what about the other members of the band?

 

[Pyrophorus]

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.

My wife is from Timmins, and she says its more of a Leafs town.
But like other Northern towns, it falls along language lines.

Bieber is an actual Leafs fan though... it's hilarious.

 

[MessierII]

Alanis Morissette is a senators fan.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Not that he is a musician...but isnt drake a big leafs fan?

I don't think he has ever been shown at a Leafs game, instead he goes to a lot of Toronto Raptors games and they also have a Drake Night game at least once a year.

Why do you feel the Canadian music scene us an embarrassment?

Does anyone realize that over the last 20 years we have had
The biggest selling male artist
The biggest selling female artist 4 times -different artists
The biggest selling country artist
The biggest selling rock group
The biggest selling single ever
IN THE WORLD??!!!

Not bad for a country whose population can fit easily in a state!

6ix9ine is a devout Habs fan.

The f*** is that?

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Im pretty sure Nickelback are all Flames fans too.

I've been in Chad's house (back before the Abby mansion just as he was starting to rake it in) and he had an Scatchard Islander jersey in his closet... a couple more too I think. I think I remember hearing that they were good buds.

The **** is that?

A pleasure robot.

50 Mission Cap is still a great story, but what about the other members of the band?

No idea, but Kingston is Leaf country for the most part.

OP says artists, not wannabes.

The hypocrisy of having a Taylor Swift avatar while making this statement is just great.

Skid rows lead singers brother played goal in the NHL.

Kevin Smith is also a Jersey/Oilers fan.

There hasn't been a good rock act out of Canada since Rush.

It's not Taylor Swift. It's April Gloria.

Amusing to me as well that posters claim someone likes their team!

Nickleback, sorry Chad specifically, is a hockey fan with allegiance to not one team that I can recall. If so it was probably Calgary as I'm sure I would have remembered of he was an Oil fan. Could be the Isles too as you say.

Also those posting about The Hip, again specifically Gord, he was an incredible hockey fan. Definitely a Bruins fan through and through, but absolutely loved Toronto as his home away from Kingston.

The band itself had a strong relationship with the Oilers but that may have been the same with other teams as well.
