Raffi's New Hockey Song

Well, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

You may recall that Raffi was concerned about the growing violence in hockey and actually called for a protest in December. Now, he's written a song about hockey.



A very different song than, say, the song played when the Winnipeg Jets score a goal.



The good ol' hockey game...

I like both songs, for different reasons of course. With Raffi's, it is nice to be inclusive of all genders, talk about teamwork, things like that. A thermos, snacks and so on. These are the things you'd expect, and frankly we need, from a beloved children's performer.

And I like how he has an old school Vancouver jersey on, but hides it. Perhaps not to show too much favoritism. Or legal reasons.
