Little Canada Canucks

The **Little Canada Canucks** are a team of the East Metro Hockey League, where they have played as a charter member since the league's inaugural 1971-72 season. Based in Little Canada, Minnesota, the Canucks play their home games at the 800-seat Little Canada Arena.

## History

The Canucks nickname and color scheme refers to the city's name, which, in turn, refers to its strong Canadian heritage and influence.

The Canucks have won 2 East Metro League Titles (1975 & 1988) and appeared in 2 Super Series (1973 & 1988); in 1973, Little Canada became the first-ever #16 seed to advance to the Super Series.

### Culture

#### Traditions

Since their very fist game in the MAHL, Little Canada has opted to sing two anthems before every home game, the USA's "Star Spangled Banner" & Canada's "O Canada".

Little Canada has entered to U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name" since its release in 1987. Canuck fans are also known for rocking the red wherever they go, covering the stands in red both at home and on the road.

#### Little Red Corvette

Little Canada fans have come together to sing "Little Red Corvette" by Prince during the second intermission of every Canuck home game since 1982.

Lyrics

> *"I guess I should've known, By the way you parked your car sideways, That it wouldn't last, See, you're the kinda person that believes in makin' out once, Love 'em and leave 'em fast*
>

> *I guess I must be dumb, 'Cause you had a pocket full of horses, Trojan and some of them used, But it was Saturday night, I guess that makes it all right, And you say, "What have I got to lose?"*
