Old rivalry thing. I'm not sure if it goes back to the days of the Edmonton Ice, but in 1999 and 2000, the Hitmen and Kootenay played a couple of tough series against each other. Calgary won in 99, Kootenay in 00, and the two teams went on to win the league title each of those seasons. The chant started back then, died off a bit, then picked back up for some reason in 2004-05 and has been going strong since.
