Hartford Whalers Song - Brass Bonanza! 

Brass Bonanza outlived the Whalers and will continue for all eternity.

29 years ago I went with my father to see the Whalers play an exhibition game against the Soviet Union hockey team. I wasn't really too thrilled because I would have rather seen Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers clash. Before the fall of Communist Russia the Soviets were considered the unbeatable team and stories of steroids use were rampant. Three periods of intense combat led to a 0-0 score. In double overtime the Whalers pulled their goalie and Captain Ron Francis intercepted a pass from wingman Torrie Robertson. On the breakaway Francis faked out the Soviet team goalie and scored the only goal in the game. A 1-0 victory for the whalers and the crowd roared so loud the whole building seemed to shake! I'll never forget it. Thanks Dad!

For the love of god... Please COME TO OUR GAMES!!!

Dear god why as a Bruins fan did I just click on this? I still have PTS from this damn song! I do miss this rivalry. Would love for them to come home. Thanks Bettman!

RRRRRRRALEIGHHHHH....IT’S A BRASS BONANZA!!!!! *The Hurricanes are not responsible for bad goaltending or Hartford Whaler envy...

“We even have seats for 15$!” *That’s like a meal at Red Lobster!*

The Hartford Whalers will never die as long as this song continues to be played.

Memories of the old Adams Division: Hartford, Boston, Buffalo, Quebec, Montreal. Great times.

RALEIGH! WE DEFEATED THE REIGNING STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS AND ELIMINATED THEM FROM THE PLAYOFFS! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, *PLEASE* COME TO OUR GAMES!!!

I have this as combat music for skyrim.

I’m from Connecticut. This is the national anthem of Connecticut. The Whalers are the only major sports team we’ve ever had in CT.

The Carolina Hurricanes are not responsible for poor goaltending or Hartford Whalers envy

Me: “Alexa, intruder alert” *lights dim* *brass bonanza proceeds to play* Alexa: “RRRRRRRRRRALEIGGGGHHHHHH!”

RIP to one of the original members of the Hartford Whalers: Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe

Best logo ever.

I put my old Whalers jersey on and play this song really loud and run through the house with my hockey stick

You know what was really amazing? Sega Geneisis incorporated this song into Whalers home games for its NHL video games.

RAAAAAALLLLLEEEEIIIIGHHHHHH WE JUST GOT OUR ASSES SWEPT BY A TEAM THAT WASNT EVEN SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AND ONE POINT AHEAD OF BUFFALO BUT PLEASE KEEP COMING TO OUR GAAMMEES!

CONGRATS TO CAROLINA LETTING US HEAR THIS GOAL SONG FIVE TIMES!

RAAAAAALEIGH, WE CLINCHED A PLAYOFF SPOT! THIS IS OUR YEAR! WE'RE GOING TO THE STANLEY CUP. NOW PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES!!!

For one night, the Whale has risen

Took me years to see how good a logo it really was. A work of art like no other in todays NHL. The logo gets the city, the team, the name the action.

I seriously come back to this page like every other month. God I love this.

BRING BACK THE NORDIQUES AND THE WHALERS.

Until 1997: Theme song for the Hartford Whalers 2017-Present: A Sports RU-vidr plays this when the Carolina Hurricanes are playing. 2019: Something about Roblox

LOOK OUT RALEIGH, THERE'S A HURRICANE OF ICE COMING

RAAAAAALLLLLEEEEIIIIGHHHHHH we did it we lost in a game 6 to Rangers, a other year wasted, to Hurricanes we changing our name to PAIN!!! (Congrats Cane 2024)!!!!

Congrats to the Hartford Whalers, who savvily hired Paul Maurice and had the good sense to never fire him! And look at the results!

RALEIGH, WERE BACK IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS.

Here’s my story on how I discovered this song: I was listening to urinating tree’s canes man clips and I noticed the song in the background. Eventually I looked up some stuff and I clicked on a video showing brass bonanza and I found what I was looking for. From that day, I became hooked, with brass bonanza becoming my new obsession. I loved it so much that I got a whalers shirt on Amazon just because of it. 2-3 months later, and it’s still my obsession. Thanks for uploading!

RALEIGH, WE FAILED TO PULL A DEEP PLAYOFF RUN OUT OF OUR ASS! WE GOT OUR ASSES HANDLED BY THE BRUINS AND REFS! DO US A FAVOR NEXT SEASON AND PLEASE COME TO OUR GAAAAAAAAAAMES!!! *Pending the Coronavirus situation

I live nowhere near Connecticut but if they played this at any game or event I was at, I’d be dancing like a lunatic the whole time. Best sports song ever made.

RALEIGH! WE DEFEATED THE PREDATORS! NOW ON OUR WAY TO PLAY THE DEFENDING STANLEY CUP CHAMPION LIGHTNING! PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES!

RAAALEEEIGHH!! WE’RE THE CENTRAL DIVISION CHAMPIONSSS!!! PLEASE COME TO OUR GAAAAAAMESS!!!!

Awww.....my first date was a Whaler's game. :) All through high school we would pile into cars and head out to the games. We always had a great time up in the nosebleeds. I miss the Whalers!

Nobody: Greenlegocats123: *CELEBRATION TIME*

RRRRRAAAALLLLEIGHHHHHHH WE JUST SWEPT THE OTHER NEW YORK TEAMMMM DAVID AYRES IS GETTING A CONN SMYTHE THIS YEARRRR PLEASE CONTINUE TO WATCH OUR GAMESSSSS

can we all collectively say a prayer for ned? he’s meeting with the commissioner soon. i’m aware that this is a long shot but maybe, with some luck, we could build a new arena and get the coyotes! bring back the whale!

Imagine being a nhl player scoring your first career goal and the brass bonanza comes on. What a feeling it must be

Hartford fans got royally screwed over. RIP Jacques Ysaye

CowCow be like: *EPIC GAMER MUSIC*

Just listening to this a couple of times in a row compelled me to buy a Whalers hat from Amazon. Only in Connecticut.

RAAAAAAALLLLLLLLEEEEEIIIGGHHHHH WE JUST GOT OUR ASSES KICKED BY THE LIGHTNING BUT PLEASE KEEP COMING TO OUR GAAAAMMEES

So glad they still use this for Hartford athletic

You want diversity? - SWEDISH GUYS! - RUSSIANS! - CZECHS! - FINNS! - GUYS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES! - BASKETBALL STARS! - EQUIPMENT MANAGERS! - TALL GUYS! - MANLETS! - ZAMBONI DRIVERS! *WE'VE GOT DIVERSITY!!!*

I play this video for my 2 year old son every night when I put his PJs on. He loves it.

Sabres fan here. Those days in the 80s and 90s when the Whalers existed and when the Sabres were actually good were quite memorable.

As a Bruins fan, I heard this song too many times last night. As someone who grew up on the Bruins/Whalers rivalry, I loved hearing it and seeing the Whale take the ice again!

RALEIGH! THANKS FOR COMING TO OUR GAMES! UNFORTUNATELY WE GOT SWEPT BY THE BRUINS! WE PULLED A DEEP PLAYOFF RUN OUT OF OUR ASS! COME BACK NEXT SEASON AND KEEP COMING TO OUR GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Any Toronto FC fans here after hearing this song used as their goal song at their temporary home games in East Hartford, CT?

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! We massively defined all expectations! We actually might lift up the holy grail of all cups! Our owner sacrificed the AAF so that we can achieve glory within the entire league! Keep coming to our games!!!!!

Thanks for the memories Hartford Whalers!!! Even in Ukraine there were fans)))

They are serenaded by the Brass Bonanza. *RALEIGH! WE DID IT! WE MADE THE FINALS!*

DANBURRRYYYY, NEW LEAGUE NEW ATTITUDE! WE'VE WON 10 GAMES IN A ROOOOW! PLEASE KEEP COMING TO OUR GAAAAAMESSS!!!

RIP Jack Say, composer of Brass Bonanza

I'm not from New England and I was still young when the Whalers left Hartford but for some reason every time I think about them I get really sad. Just feels like hockey belongs more in CT than it does in Carolina...

2022 Stanley Cup Champions ? It's been far too long , man I miss 2006....

"RRRRRAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEIIGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! WE DID IT!!!! WE MADE THE FINAL..!!!!!" (only die hard urinatingtree fans knows this)

I was at the final game. I was in high school then. It's nice to hear the old theme song once in a while. It's been 17 years and I still miss em. I routed for Ron Francis and Carolina when they won the Cup, but mainly because it was Ron Francis. Winnipeg is back. Let's hope that the NHL can find a way to support more smaller market teams again.

karstcast sent me here. this song goes hard

*THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR GAME!*

Still dont Know how they are not relocating a team to Hartford they have an Arena (XL Center), They clearly have a Hockey market in Hartford that is dying for a Return to glory in the NHL, plus more and more Fans of the NHL would love to relive the Nostalgia. It is like the Jets situation all over again just relocate Arizona or Florida over to Hartford and lets get this done Bettman #BringbacktheWhalers!

RAAAAAALLLLLLLEEEIIIGGGGGHHH!! WE JUST WON THE DIVISION!! NOW YOU CAN COME TO OUR GAAAMMMEEESSS!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES!

yeah its amazing that nobody else has this remastered copy, they all have the copy that sounds like it was recorded from a VHS Tape

The hurricanes are not responsible for blowing 3-1 leads and failing to reverse sweep a presidents trophy winning team

Hurricanes should totally bring it back lmfao

Canes just scored and played this right now!

According to a story in The Boston Globe this music was suggested as a theme song for The Hartford Whalers by Bob Neumeier, who at the time worked at WTIC in Hartford and called the Whaler games. Bob passed away on Saturday. Bob will be missed by the sports fans in Hartford, in Boston where he worked for many years, and nationally where he was known for his horse racing work on NBC. Thank you Neumy, for the joy you brought to many, many sports fans over the past 50 years. You will be missed.

the anthem of hockey

PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES!!

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRALEIGH! COME TO OUR GAMES!

WE'RE IN THE CONFERENCE FINALS, WE HAVE A SHOT, *PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES!!!*

I’m going to use this song to wake my kids up in the morning for school.

BRUINS AND WHALERS, BABY ECF 2019

The city that needs a team back is Hartford and Quebec

ok, since the Whalers are no longer using this I hereby declare it *MY* anthem!

Love this. The Simplicity of Songs of yesterday are missed in these fast and furious times. Makes you wanna go watch some old Hockey Films

Song reminds me of great old time hockey when men were men.

back again! great win by the Hurricanes in Whalers uniforms on Friday Feb 19. May the Whalers never be forgotten.

The late Bob Neumeier, who just passed away days ago, was Hartford's P-B-P announcer when he suggested The Whale adopt this as its anthem.

I'm a Flyers fan and I remember one night they are playing in Harford and the Whalers are just kicking the crap out of them. Wound up being a 6-1 final. I was getting really pissed off until after yet another Harford goal the Flyers play by play announcer Gene Hart goes, " you know it would be nice if the Flyers could stop this team from scoring so we don't have to listen to that damn song again". I instantly went from being pissed off to laughing my ass off. Now everytime I hear this song I start laughing remembering that

I'm a Boston fan and I have to say I love this!

When Iived in Montreal I used to get all the New England Whalers games on the radio and listened to them always.This brings back some awesome memories with Bob Neumeier doing play by play...Absolutely Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RRRRRRAAAAAAALLLLLEEEEEIIIIGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! KEEP COMING TO OUR GAMES!!!!

RRRRRRRRRRALEIGH, THE FANS ARE COMING BACK TO OUR GAMES

You can thank the Karstcast

ARE YOU READY FOR A POTENTIAL REVERSE SWEEP RALIEGH?!

Rest in peace #9....Gordie Howe...

Sounds like something you would hear in a classic Scooby Doo episode.

RRRRRALLLIEEEEGHHHHH WE MAY HAVE BEEN SWEPT BY A CAT TEAM IN FLORIDA BUT WE STILL HAVE TALENT, WE HAVE DEPTH, WE ARE SOMEHOW 2ND IN OUR DIVISION AHEAD OF THE FLYERS, OUR TICKETS ARE 24$ THAT'S BETTER THAN A DINNER AT RED LOBSTER, PLEASE COME TO OUR GAMES!

Hands down the all-time best goal celebration song ever...as a Sabres fan growing up, used to love watching when we played in Hartford just so I could hear the goal song when they scored, lol

Lifelong Oilers fan and randomly started humming this song out of nowhere. I suddenly got very nostalgic about the Whalers and Nordiques. I always had mad respect for the Whalers, Nordiques, and Jets. I also can’t think of any teams in the NHL having nicer jerseys than the former WHA teams.

RALEIGH! WE DID IT! WE MADE THE FINALS!
