Since the Minnesota Wild began play in the 2000-2001 NHL season, they've had a strong fan base, probably one of the strongest in the league. Fans of the team live and die by the team's success, Many spend a lot of money and time on the team, devoting a lot of resources to attending games, buying merchandise, and keeping up on player news. But there is one thing that Wild fans have wanted for a very long time, but have never gotten: a new goal song.

Currently, the Wild use "Crowd Chant" by Joe Satriani after the team scores at home. Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with the song, but it's also used by the New York Islanders. The Wild are a unique and one-of-a-kind franchise, and going to a game at the XCel Energy Center is an experience that cannot be replicated by other arenas, so why not have a unique goal song to go along with that?

So, what song should replace "Crowd Chant" at the X? There are many great options, too many to even list. So I propose the team goes to the people who would be most affected by the change: the fans. When it was announced that hockey was coming back to Minnesota after the the North Stars left in 1994, the organization made the brilliant move to have the fans help choose the team's name. Many names were submitted, including the name "Wild". And it's becoming more popular for fans to vote on things like goal songs. Just recently the Buffalo Sabres had a contest to choose a new goal song. So this wouldn't be an unprecedented move.

The Wild are a great organization, and they've done a lot to make the team great. I just think that with this one little change, they could become even better than they already are, and build a sense of involvement of the fans in the team.
