Stan Rogers wrote a song about hockey; I think it's called "Flying" or some phrase containing the word flying. Actually it's not so much about hockey as it's about kids dreaming of making it and getting out of this town, and high failure rates. Depressing song, really, but it's sporty.

Excerpt:

"I tell them to think of the play and not of the fame
If they've got any future at all it's not in the game
Cause they'll be crippled and starting all over again
Selling on commission, remembering when they were flying,
Remembering dying.

Cause every kid over the boards listens for the sound
The roar of the crowd is their ticket for finally leaving this town
To be just one more hopeful in the Junior A..."
