OT: Quest for the AWA Howl Complete - Now with other old Coyotes stuff

[SniperHF]

My GDT spelunking reminded me of something else I was looking for awhile back; The old Coyote howl from America West Arena. You can hear it on goal videos but it's usually a bit drowned out by the commentary/fans.

So I've been looking for a relatively clean version of it somewhere off and on and haven't been able to find one.

I'm kind of under the assumption that the team doesn't even have one since during all the throwback games they use the somewhat tepid current howl. Maybe they have it and just don't use it but they use everything else right down to the old CGI so...

I used to have a WAV file of it back in the day that I pulled from a Coyotes browser theme CD but haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Anyone around here have a line on something like this?

That howl was so much better. Good question, Wesley Snipes. I however do not have the file.

You may be able to find it in an old EA NHL 2002 custom sound pack or something like that

Until 2012 that was the best game I'd ever attended in person. It was also the only hockey game my father ever went to (he happened to be visiting from Florida), and for the rest of his life he'd always ask me "do they still yell 'Osssss-gooooood'?"

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Personally think the old one sounds like a Coyote getting shot and crying for help, guess its just me

Then there has never been a more appropriate time to bring it back.

So I found it.

I was looking for something else, inspired by the discussion in the OT thread.... and came across the browser CD (along with a sealed Diamondbacks one)

Behold:


Unfortunately the quality was a bit dumpy but what do you want from a browser skin cd. But at least it actually exists somewhere now.


The CD also had a few other gems:





The hilarious thing? The NeoPlanet browser still works.....

I'm half tempted to make a Mozilla theme using the graphics

Spoiler: Click to see the CD

 

[Matias Maccete]

Oh yeah browser CDs were a thing.

 

[IPreferPi]

Oh yeah browser CDs were a thing.

I'm sure 20 years later all those millions of free AOL floppy/CD mailers are still filling up most landfills intact.

Maybe not....

 

[CC96]

Well done, Wesley Snipes. That CD looks dope, I need to find one somehow.

 

[BigMac1212]

I thought they used a different howl for the first year...?

 

[Tanic]

Since AWA did not have a goal horn, it made the "goal howl" with Werewolves the most distinctive in the NHL.

 

[SniperHF]

I was moving some junk around and found another old Coyotes thing.

Not terribly significant but I figured the hilarity, given how it worked out in the end, of Tony Amonte and Mike Barnett standing there with the caption "It's Time To Believe" was too funny to pass up.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I was so excited for Tony Amonte.

 

[RemoAZ]

Yeah the howl was good but Roenick and Tkachuk were better. Only time we've had two legit stars and boy were they fun to watch.

 

[rt]

I remember hearing on the radio that we had signed Tony f***ing Amonte. I could not believe it. Just shocked that such a high caliber player would come here. Tony f***ing Amonte came HERE of all places. Just shocked. Overjoyed.

 

[Summer Rose]

I finally watched the video in the OP of the playoff game before I became a hockey fan. Even though it's from the 1998 playoffs, what really hit me hard was just looking at the ticker stuff in the video where they're displaying names of players who were impending UFA's, going to arbitration, etc.

I recognized almost every single name. It made me feel really old.

Side note on that topic, the most electrifying moment in my early years as a hockey fan didn't involve the Coyotes. It was... I'll just put it this way: "OFF THE FLOOR, ON THE BOARD! PAUL KARIYA!" I get goosebumps even thinking about it.

Lasted like 5 seconds and then BOOM. Philly.

Well. It was more to do with how god awful his play was before the boom Philly. That was the clearest example of a “retirement contract” I’ve seen. He moved to Phoenix to retire and play golf. Took the biggest deal the team would give him to coast around.

 

[SniperHF]

Found another random thing:

Well I'm excited. Blue Chip Blueliners and GREAT Expectations.

Also $5.00? lol

Oh we know how the hockey world got to know Gretzky the coach. Wonder how that Petr Nedved thing worked out?

And what a system it was! Highlighted by the great Tim Jackman!

 

[RemoAZ]

Well if you're going to bring up Keith Ballard and old stuff, here's the best Yotes commercial of all time (You don't even have legs):

 

[Matias Maccete]

I loved Ballard. His hip checks were great.

I'd take the Ossi Vanaanen (sp?) howl i day hat trick commercial over the Pierre one, still pretty great though.

 

[YotesFan47]

100% my favorite one.

Well I don't have commercials in my piles of old junk.

But if it's Pierre AKA the "Fanatical Hockey Snowman" AKA "The White Blur" from the Chicoutimi Summer C league you want, I think I can provide.
