RE: at the ballgame

[jordan newman <jznewma...>]

Hava Nagilah has been a part of the NHL since as long
as I can remember and is still a staple at every game
I've ever witnessed, be it Montreal, NY, or Winnipeg,
alongside such chestnuts as "We Will Rock you" and
"Cotton-Eyed Joe".  I'm sure I even heard it in the
latest NHL video games as part of the background
music.
