For this article, I travelled around the hockey world asking hockey players and people involved with the game what their favorite songs are.
We all like to get into the lives of our heroes and see what they like in their spare time, so now you know a little more about some players than you did when you woke up this morning.
Note: For this satire, all these songs are real and have been sung by real artists. They can be found on any music site for you to listen to as well.

I would've gone with "Beer" by the Reel Big Fish for Belfour. C'mon, like this line doesn't suit Eddie: "And if I get drunk, well I'll pass out on the floor now baby."
