rob.notenboom Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I've been meaning to put together a chant sheet which has as many Canada chants and club chants adapted to be Canadian chants. I've been lucky enough to have attended games in several cities and have a reasonable grasp on many of the local chants that have been adapted. However, despite the winter months being slower for my work, and therefore perfect for these kinds of projects, I've gotten nothing done besides getting a copy of Califax's chant sheet. I thought maybe I'd solicit some help. If you know a standard Canada chant or a chant that has been adapted from your local club, please post it in this thread. Include as much information as you can: lyrics, tune, actions, variations, youtube links if you have them. Once there is a reasonably large number I will copy and paste them and build a big chant sheet with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzAndSting Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread Rob. I always liked this Simeon Jackson one. It's simple and can easily be adapted to other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try and post a couple new chants everyday, but whatever others can provide is more than welcome, videos included. I'd not seen the Allez video but have seen the Simeon Jackson one and recall doing that at BMO vs Panama. Taught it to the Footsoldiers guys in Calgary and used it for Elijah Adakugbe (do do do DO. A-de-kug-be). Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
