Abstract

In Finland, ice hockey is the country’s most popular sport, and the men’s Ice Hockey World Championships have evolved into the culmination of the ice hockey season. The large interest for the Finland’s men’s national team in ice hockey, the so-called Lions, unites a big part of Finland’s population and the team have a unique repertoire of music through which the feeling of national belonging is manifested. By studying the music used in association with the Lions, the construction of a national community through music in a sporting context is explored.
