Under somewhat mysterious circumstances, the Edmonton Oilers have adopted Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” as their team anthem, blasting it in the locker room after every win during their run through the Stanley Cup playoffs. The team organist for the Oilers — who are in the finals, facing the Florida Panthers in a rematch from last season — has even begun playing the song ahead of each night’s opening faceoff at Rogers Place. The players aren’t talking about why that song in particular has caught on with the team, but it’s definitely become a thing, which led to Wayne Gretzky discovering the wonders of Chappell Roan about a year later than the rest of the world.
