The Best NHL Goal Horns

You hear them every time the home team scores. They sound the crowd into a frenzy. They are the goal horns of the NHL. Each team has one that is sounded whenever the team scores or wins the game. The Chicago Blackhawks were the first team to utilize a goal horn, starting in the 70's.

Top 5 NHL Goal Horns

5. Los Angeles Kings

This horn is an Airchime K3, Canadian Voiced set of bells. It is reminiscent of a train horn. I'm not a huge fan of the higher pitched horns, but this is pretty well. When the Kings score, it sounds like an out-of-control train that won't be stopping anytime soon.

4. Chicago Blackhawks

The horn is a Kahlenberg Q3. Perhaps one of the more obnoxious horns, but I like it, primarily because it fits in with the atmosphere at the United Center so perfectly. It is loud, just like the Blackhawks faithful. Combined with Chelsea Dagger (the goal song) it gets into the opponents head, and is known to aggravate some players.

3. New York Islanders

The horn is a Kahlenberg T2. It is a very loud, simple horn. It gets the jobs done. It is unknown if the horn will travel with the team to the Barclays Center, or if they'll change when they move. Here's to hoping it travels with them. 

2. Dallas Stars

The horn is a Kahlenberg KDT-123. This is horn is very nice sounding. It mixes very nice harmonically. The Stars also sound the horn for as many goals as the team has scored for the game, which is a technique that I love. 

1. Pittsburgh Penguins

The horn is an Airchime KMJ. It is the musically prettiest horn in the league, which is primarily why it is number one. It followed the Penguins from the Igloo to CEC. It is fitting that the best player in the world gets the best horn in the league. 

The top 5 worst horns in the league will be coming at sometime in the near future.
