"Play Freebird!" The Viral Team USA Hockey Chant Taking Over America

Hey, I’m Mikey Parisano, the guy behind Dad Bod Summer—the brand that’s all about good times, great shirts, and raising awareness for men’s mental health. But today? Today is all about Team USA hockey, America vs. Canada, and one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.

If you haven’t been paying attention, the USA vs. Canada showdown at the 4 Nations Face-Off has become an instant classic. Saturday night’s game had it all—three fights in the first nine seconds, old-school intensity, and 5.4 million American fans watching our boys beat down Canada 3-1. And as the rivalry heats up for the rematch in the championship on Thursday, the entire country has rallied behind one legendary battle cry:

👉 "PLAY FREEBIRD!" 🎸🔥

Why Is Everyone Screaming 'Play Freebird' for Team USA?

It’s a vibe, a movement, an anthem. The Lynyrd Skynyrd "Free Bird" guitar solo has become the unofficial theme song for Team USA hockey—because just like a seven-minute face-melting solo, this team is playing with pure, unapologetic American energy.

It’s not just about hockey anymore. This chant is taking over TikTok, Instagram, and every sports bar in the country. It’s about America showing up and dominating, whether it's hockey, golf (Ryder Cup vibes, anyone?), or just crushing a few beers at happy hour. It’s the same kind of USA pride you see when fans rock their 1776 shirts at a summer tailgate or break out their favorite America shirts for July 4th.

And since this trend isn’t slowing down, we had to make some new shirts for the moment.
