The Edmonton Oilers make Pink Pony Club part of their playoff lore
Article content It has become such a part of this playoff run that the crowd of 18,000-plus at Rogers Place belted out 'Pink Pony Club' during Game 3. But how did this song become the Oilers' playoff anthem? That's a closely guarded secret. 'We're going to keep that one within the team,' said Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard. Goalie Calvin Pickard, who was in net for the team's first six playoff triumphs of 2025 before falling to injury, offered little more. 'I don't know if I can tell people that story, can I?' said Pickard. 'Well, I know exactly where it started, but I don't know if I want to let that secret out. I know exactly when, because I was there.. But, I think I am going to keep it tight to the chest. But does Pickard like the song? 'Yeah, it's great,' he said. 'We rally around it, for sure. My kids love it, and it seems like the city loves it, too.' The fact that a lot of the sportswriters in the dressing room hadn't heard of the song until the playoff run is a sign that a lot of us need to get out more. For those of you who have been living under a rock, Roan's song has become more than the sum of its parts. It's about a girl who moves from a small town to pursue her dreams in Los Angeles, but ends up dancing at a club, The fact that she knows her mother would be aghast with her life choices suggests that the venue in question is indeed a strip club, but her line 'and I heard there's a special place, where boys and girls can all be queens every single day' has also made it anthem for the Queer community, and just about any kid who feels he, she or they simply don't fit in. There was a Chappell Roan-themed drag night held at an Edmonton nightclub in the fall of 2024. It's a pop song, but it might be the most unintentionally punk-rock anthem of this generation. Honestly, no one would have batted an eyelash had these lyrics been sung by Kurt Cobain.
