Copyright protections limit our ability to include audio files for your download (of course they are often available elsewhere on the web) so instead we decided to focus instead on ideas for your sound library. Specifically situational soungs and bumbers and some other noteworthy songs ("hot time outs", etc.)

Thanks to Glen Gower of the Ottawa 67's (now with the NHL Senators) for his major contribution which was the basis for this page. Also thanks to John Jackson with Game Ops Commander for his significant contribution to this list.

Of course, like the rest of this site, the resource is only as good as the ideas that are contributed. After reviewing this page, please take a second and drop us an idea or song that is effective for you. This simple form makes it easy to contribute.
