Built for Hockey Last Names
A hockey roster is where announcer intros usually fall apart. French-Canadian endings, Eastern European surnames, silent letters — get one wrong and that's the part the kid remembers.

Not Just Hockey
Hockey families are our biggest group of customers, but nothing here is hockey-only — the same intro works for basketball, soccer, football, lacrosse, ringette, volleyball and baseball. If you came here from a walk-up song app, that comparison is worth a read too.
Hockey Intro FAQ
How do I play the intro at the rink?
You get a standard MP3, so anything that plays music works — your phone into the arena's aux or sound booth, a portable Bluetooth speaker on the bench, or a laptop. Most teams hand it to whoever runs the rink's system, or just play it off a phone for warm-ups and pre-game.
Will it pronounce hard last names correctly?
This is the part hockey rosters actually need. Before you pay, you can tap any player's name and adjust it sound by sound, then hear it back in the real announcer voice. Fix a silent letter, a French-Canadian ending or an Eastern European surname, and confirm the whole roster sounds right before you check out — there's no extra charge for a hard name.
How much does a hockey team intro cost?
$10 CAD covers up to 20 players, then $1 per additional player. That's one flat payment, not a subscription. Most dedicated hockey intro services run $30 to $199 for the same kind of file.
How long does it take?
Your announcement is delivered instantly. You build it yourself, hear it before you buy, and the finished file is emailed to you right after checkout — no waiting on a studio turnaround.
Can I use our team song or goal song with it?
Yes. Pick from our royalty-free background tracks, or take the voice-only file and combine it with any music you have the rights to using our free audio mixer.
Do you only do hockey?
No — BoomIntro works for any sport. Hockey teams are our biggest group of customers, so this page speaks to them, but the same $10 CAD intro works for basketball, soccer, football, lacrosse, ringette, volleyball, baseball and more.
