Warm-up skate is the part every hockey kid remembers. Both teams hit the ice, the music comes up over the rink PA, and players loop the zone, stretch, and rip pucks at the net while the building fills in. It is loud, it is loose, and it sets the tone before anybody drops the puck.
The right warm-up song keeps legs moving and nerves settled. You want something with a big intro and a steady drive, the kind of track the whole bench knows well enough to nod along to between snipes on the goalie.
