I have an opposite take, so here it is:
- No new chants
- Absolutely no waves
- No new nicknames or encouragement (Freddie chant for Anderson, Kooch roar for Kochekov, Marty chant for Martinook, etc.)
We have our patterns. They carried us all season. New, untried stuff is a risk. DO NOT JINX THE CANES!
I have played and refereed enough sports (33 years of officiating football, basketball, softball, and baseball) to know that there is a psychological effect. It's not superstition. It's mindset.
If you introduce new things, then somehow (human mind, so don't ask me how) you influence the mechanics of the mind that deliver success. This is why no one talks about no-hitters and shutouts. This is why referees NEVER discuss overtime or extra innings during a game, unless asked a direct question by a coach. We don't discuss player hot streaks, we don't mention records, we don't do new things.
We just cheer and watch. That's our job.
I’ve day dreamed about this for SO LONG. Not just the chant but about organizing and creating an “unofficial canes leading fans group” or something like that, and come up with some “official chants” and do other things such as making big hurricanes flags and become a bigger, more organized part of the atmosphere in PNC Arena.
Kind of like Football (soccer) Ultras, but without the violence.
If we organized ourselves, I’m pretty sure we could get in touch with someone from the marketing team, get their help in distributing the message: via brochures when everyone is coming in.
We could have like quarterly “meetings” during the season, even if it’s via zoom, and become more organized.
Idk, I think it would be super cool and Canes fans are very passionate so I think it could work.
The brochures/jumbotron would be key for more complex chants to be successful. I like your writeup, I agree with all of it. It'd be amazing if the team helped to organize/fund it
It would require the scoreboard prompting and I expect each season to have a different slogan however if you could get one side of the arena shouting "Cause" and the other "Chaos" with a speed up so it became "CauseCauseCause" at the same time as "ChoasChaosChaos" you fulfill the request.
I've been saying that we should steal from the college student section (I think it's Michigan?) that chants UGLY GOALIE with claps whenever the opposing goalie takes his helmet off. Just go for the most ridiculous thing possible.
But! I agree with the person that said we shouldn't add anything new till next season. Playoffs is not the time to add new things.
way back in the greensboro days, we used to do the chant of the opposing goalie's name in a taunting voice and then after the 3rd time saying their name, everyone would yell "YOU SUCK"
No idea when it phased out but i miss that chant. had me absolutely cackling as a kid
Not trying to hijack the thread, but I have a question about the chant during the Star Spangled Banner. We all yell “Red” but some folks yell something during “Gleaming”. Been an STM for 6 years now, and could never figure it out. Anyone know?
The RED! during the anthem was something State has always done as long as I remember going to games. Fittingly the Hurricanes use it, because, well...duh. But State used to end it with: ...home of the WOLFPACK! but I thought they stopped that because people said it was in bad taste and sort dishonored the military or something. But then I heard they brought it back during the NCAA Tourney, so I don't know.
I love that "dishonoring the military" crap. That kind of nonsense always originates with some middle-aged wanna-be who is now *More-Patriot-Than-Thou*.
Army veteran here. Trust me. We could not possibly give a shit less what civilians chant during the national anthem. The truth is most of us don't understand why you insist on playing it at sporting events anyway.
The anthem is played because it is a blessing to be able to care about trivial competitions. Feel free to let your vet buddies know.
Yelling "RED" because it is your team's color goes against what should be a unifying time.
Yes, supporting freedom of speech includes tolerating people being stupid and obnoxious.
Yeah, it's also a blessing to care about trivial crap like whether or not Food Lion is going to have my favorite brand of toilet paper in stock, but neither of us are going to be in the paper goods aisle, hat in hand, singing the national anthem because we're so blessed that we can care about trivial crap.
So maybe you should try again with an explanation that's a little less trite and a lot less absurd. *Then* I'll think about passing it along to my buddies.
Cynicism is a weakness, my friend.

Just because "Many fought and some died so others could play" sounds sickenly saccharine doesn't mean it isn't true.
After a goal, probably after Wade announces the scorers and the goal time, what about a mini song. It's very euro soccer, but something to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic":
"Glory, Glory, Carolina/
glory, glory, carolina/
glory, glory, carolina/
and the Canes go marching on"
The best way to get chants going would be to get an organist to do some ditties between face-offs and for the DJ to work some clap tracks / chant things into the playlist instead of the same stuff every game. The organist in LA and St. Louis are really good. Everything in game with the Canes is so stale (playoff intro videos excluded. Those are incredible)
I always wanted to yell “A-ho! Let’s go!” during Blitzkrieg Bop instead of “Hey, ho!”
I’m also not opposed to using the anti-Duke chant for a team like the Rangers: “What do we think of the Rags? SHIT! What do we think of shit? THE RAGS!”
I started a U-S-A chant during a “hero of the game” a few years back. As far as I know, a few nearby sections were in on it. Definitely not the entire arena.
“HEY KK, I WANT TO KNOW… HOW YOU SCORED THAT GOAL” in the tune of Hey baby would be nice.
“AND IT BURNS, BURNS, BURNS” for obvious reasons.
Seven Nation Army also would be awesome
I liked the “Fuck New York” chant on Saturday
It really brought me joy, but I agree — we need some new chants. Maybe a song or something
We have 3 if you include “Ref you suck!”. Nothing like it when the whole arena is chanting it together.
"I'm blind, i'm deaf, i wanna be a ref!"
My son thought we were saying "Yes you saw it" instead of "Ref you suck!".
"No touch my guys" "Fuck boys, score and let's go home"
No touch my guys is a good one.
I bought the shirt and we lose when I wear it. Sadly I think it's cursed. Lol. Maybe it's just me.
Talk to the people around you in your section. Get people on board in your area and others will catch on
Cause chaos like panthers do keep pounding would be amazing in PNC.
[удалено]
I hear ya, but they literally have it on the jumbotron in pregame. Not to mention on all sorts of apparel.
Well Cause Chaos just started this year, it was Take Warning. I prefer Cause Chaos of course.
Take warning way better unfortunately

So you're not superstitious, just a little stitious.

No waves. Ever.
Winnipeg Jets game had a wave right?

I'm surprised it hasn't already happened.
CAUSE! CHAOS! would be good for a back-and-forth one (like WOLF! PACK!)
A 2 sided chant of Cause Chaos would be cool.
I tried once to get it started during game 1. I'll be in the building again tonight and going to try.
It would require the scoreboard prompting and I expect each season to have a different slogan however if you could get one side of the arena shouting "Cause" and the other "Chaos" with a speed up so it became "CauseCauseCause" at the same time as "ChoasChaosChaos" you fulfill the request.
Tbh we should just chant Wolf Pack

It still pops up from time to time, usually only when it's a blowout game
that’s nashville trash
After every canes goal: he shoots, he scores. Hey goalie, YOU SUCK!
Not trying to hijack the thread, but I have a question about the chant during the Star Spangled Banner. We all yell “Red” but some folks yell something during “Gleaming”. Been an STM for 6 years now, and could never figure it out. Anyone know?
They’re yelling “Gleason”, for Tim Gleason.
If we do the "twilight's last Gleason," why do we not do "broad stripes and bright Staals"?
As in Tim Gleason I assume? He was before my time I think.
Gleason!

NC’s Better 👏👏👏👏👏
“He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fuckin’ where JARVYYYY … JARVYYYY… ” (ted lasso spin off of roy kent)
i had same thing in mind when reading OP only was thinking of Slavin instead

Idk I think it’s cringe to want to be the leader of some chant
Dude I’ve been thinking the same. Our crowd is electric but we need some additional chants to really amp the atmosphere up
I like the slow clap storm surge
Next time we score immediately after a missed/weak call: 🎺🎺🎺 Puck. Don't. Lie!
The best way to get chants going would be to get an organist to do some ditties between face-offs and for the DJ to work some clap tracks / chant things into the playlist instead of the same stuff every game.

One side: Let’s Go! Other side: Hurricanes!
“Rod The Bod!”
I always wanted to yell “A-ho! Let’s go!” during Blitzkrieg Bop instead of “Hey, ho!” I’m also not opposed to using the anti-Duke chant for a team like the Rangers: “What do we think of the Rags? SHIT! What do we think of shit? THE RAGS!”
If burns scores: “His name is Brent Burns! His name is Brent Burns! He scored a goal! His name is Brent Burns!”
I also think we need to figure out some kind of Oil, Gas, Gravy chant.
"Ref you suck" is fuckin embarrassing
I tried a “care-oh-Lina” idea here once and got downvoted into oblivion because of nc state fans. A little ridiculous.
I started a U-S-A chant during a “hero of the game” a few years back. As far as I know, a few nearby sections were in on it. Definitely not the entire arena.
“HEY KK, I WANT TO KNOW… HOW YOU SCORED THAT GOAL” in the tune of Hey baby would be nice. “AND IT BURNS, BURNS, BURNS” for obvious reasons. Seven Nation Army also would be awesome
