The Minnesota Wild composed the Wild Anthem before the start of the inaugural season.  In the State of Hockey, where hockey tradition runs deep, it seemed logical to write lyrics (accompanied by energetic, Celtic-flavored music) that symbolized all of the elements of Minnesota's rich hockey heritage.

The Wild Anthem is featured at Wild home games on the scoreboard. The piece includes hockey fans from all parts of Minnesota and is a continual reminder of the pride we have in the game of hockey and the communities and lives it touches throughout our great state.

This is the State of Hockey. Watch the anthem on WILDTV.

MINNESOTA WILD ANTHEM

We were raised
With the stick
And a pair of blades
On the ice we cut our teeth
We took our knocks
In the penalty box
Our mother was the referee

This sport was here
Before we came
It will be here when we're gone
The game's in our blood
And our blood's in the game
Lay us down under
A frozen pond

We will fight to the end
We will stand and defend
Our flag flying high and free
We were born the child
Of the strong and Wild
In the State, the State of Hockey

A big blue line runs around our state
A line that can't be crossed
The day they try to take this game
Is the day the gloves come off

We will fight to the end
We will stand and defend
Our flag flying high and free
We were born the child
Of the strong and Wild
In the State, the State of Hockey.
