Hockey warmup songs and pregame playlist
Goal songs are eight seconds. Warmups are twenty minutes. This is the playlist that keeps a team moving through the skate-around, plus the tracks that fill intermissions and stoppages.
Between-periods and stoppage music
Short, loud, and easy to cut off when the ref blows the whistle.
- Zombie Nation (Kernkraft 400) — Kernkraft 400
- Rock and Roll Part 2 (Hey Song) — Arena instrumental
- Cotton Eye Joe — Rednex
- Y.M.C.A. — Village People
- Cha Cha Slide — DJ Casper (clean)
How to build the playlist
- Order it by intensity: mid-tempo for stretching, hardest tracks for the last five minutes of warmups.
- Keep every clip under 40 seconds in the Between Periods panel so you can cut cleanly at the whistle.
- Save your goal songs separately — one per skater on the roster — so warmup music never overwrites them.
- Test the volume at the rink before the first drop. Barn acoustics are nothing like your kitchen.
Questions coaches ask
How long should a hockey warmup playlist be?
Plan for 20 minutes — roughly six to eight songs. Build it once in the Between Periods panel and it's ready for every game.
