The phrase became famous after the Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, ending a 39 year title drought. In Boston, championship teams tour the city on duck boats, World War II style amphibious vehicles that travel on land and water. Calling to get them ready therefore meant the parade was coming. Bruins fans kept the clip alive in highlight reels, memes and reaction posts, using it whenever another Boston title or a big hockey win feels parade worthy.
