Word, Sid grew up in Cole Harbour! When I was growing up, it was one of the toughest places to go to school in the entire province. Fortunately I didn't live anywhere near there. Some serious racial tension that seemingly escalated into brawls every other week for a while.
Hockey has been mentioned in hip-hop a few times.
Our very own C-town got repped by Jus Allah from Jedi Mind Tricks in 'Violent By Design':
'Till a brotha (bleepin) change, the lateral game
Like Calgary Flames, puttin' fire on ice
Put me in hell, pu-puttin' four nails to Christ!
Mario was mentioned in a song by Tribe Called Quest. Gretzky by Styles on a DMX album.
Pharoahe Monch had this line in his song 'Official'
Yo, I stick around like hockey, now what the puck
Cooler than f***, maneuver like Vancouver Canucks
That's not the end of the list but it's a start.
