Hockey Night

Here's a group of guys from Minneapolis who don't seem to take themselves too seriously but they obviously know how to engineer a solid jam. In an unconventional move the band is made up of two guitarists accompanied by dual drummers. While I don't know how much character this lineup adds to Hockey Night's sound, it definitely doesn't hurt...

Unfortunately the band broke up awhile ago and nothing has been recorded under the name Hockey Night for some time. I think there's a good chance you will see lead Paul Spranger and the rest of the guys show up in some form or fashion sooner or later, but for now all we can do is be content to enjoy what was great band.

Why They Don't Suck: It's perplexing to think that a band this good never got off the ground like they should have. Although though they've stopped recording that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the tracks posted here.
