NHL's Hank Williams? Green Day song may be new hockey anthem

The NHL could be on the way to its version of “Are You Ready For Some Football?”

The league is announcing a two-year partnership with Green Day that includes an opening song for NBC Sports’ “Wednesday Night Hockey.” The song, “Ready, Fire, Aim” isn’t custom-made for the NHL and will be on Green Day’s next album.

Green Day’s open will debut Oct. 9. The band will also perform at the All-Star Game in St. Louis in January, and new singles from its album will be released on “Wednesday Night Hockey.”
