It’s officially hockey season. Our local NHL team the Minnesota Wild will begin their 2023-24 season tonight (Oct. 12). The Wild host the Florida Panthers at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The puck drops at 7 p.m. Central.

To mark this occasion, let’s combine a few elements to get a little bit… wild. Got some songs that reference being wild? Let’s hear ‘em. Are these songs upbeat and ready to rock a crowd? Even better. If you’ve got hockey jams you’ve been saving up, now’s the time to break them out.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs to celebrate the Minnesota Wild’s season opener do you want to hear?
