About this sound

The chant celebrating the Boston Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup win over Vancouver, calling for the duck boats to be ready for the parade fans replay after wins.

This is the longer version of the excited call that became shorthand for Boston's championship celebrations after the Bruins beat Vancouver to win the 2011 Stanley Cup. A voice, full of disbelief and joy, urges listeners to get the duck boats ready, the amphibious vehicles used for Boston's famous victory parades through the city streets. The delivery is loud, urgent and triumphant, building like a crowd about to spill out of an arena, and it instantly signals that a long wait is over and a title is coming home. For Bruins fans, it carries pride, relief and a shared memory of that June night.

Pro tip

Drop it right on the final buzzer or championship-clinching goal, then cut to parade footage or a trophy lift so the duck-boat line lands as the payoff. Keep the crowd noise underneath, but avoid layering another chant on top, which buries the call.
