Old videos of goal celebrations do not have the “skate by the bench & fist bump everyone” -thing going on
Nowadays it is done after every god damn goal during regulation time.
Where did it come from? Abroad? Minors? WHA?
What is the first instance on tape?

I wouldn’t mind if my team stopped doing the “celebration train” during playoffs.
Pure focus. Celebrate winning each round.

Don’t know but it should stop now. Move on to something else

I don’t like it either – too contrived. But it’s so entrenched now that it’s probably not going to go away, unfortunately.

Idk but I want more sword sheathing..

I have a theory it began in junior hockey with the intent of showing who actually scored…as the scorer leads the charge to the bench. Officials often credited the wrong player and this clears it up.

Probably around the time NFL players started celebrating after what seems like every play

Definitely in the 2010’s. We did not do that when I played College hockey in 2008/2009 and i never did it growing up.

Yes! I’ve also had the exact same question come up recently in conversation. Would love it someone could find the concrete answer.

I played hockey in the 80s and it was normal then. Back then we were instructed first to celebrate in front of the opposing net to try and rattle the goalie. Many goalies back then would skate the corner to avoid this.

A bit of Hockey history everyone should be knowledgeable about:
Fred “high 5” Giblonski from the Polish national team originally created the hockey high five in 1951 and Sven “fist pump’ Fistjorgensun from the Norwegian Olympic team created the fist pump at the 1960 Olympics. But in 1987 at the Rendez-Vous qualifiers it was Pablo “skate by” Gonzales who created the celebration we are familiar with today..

Guys name was Baga Pucks back in the 50’s. Team was playing bad. Everyone was down. Some Guy lost a fight. Coach was angry. Baga told coach to put him out next shift. Baga netted a goal and this was his celly. The team came back to win the game.

Don’t have an answer. Asked myself the same question just a few weeks ago. I don’t like nor dislike it as it is now just a part of the game.
Ambiguous statement; at the end of the day, hockey and sports in general are now entertainment. This feels like a thing that could have been mandated for fans, especially TV.
A final thought, in order for it to stop, it will also need to be mandated. It would be unlikely for a player to stop doing it at the risk of being alienated.

Tim Horton. He would handout donuts and smokes.

Idk but they do it in the UK too in the EIHL

The guys saying they saw it in the 80’s are full of shit. You can pull up games from back then and they definitely didn’t as a matter of course for every goal. [Here’s an example](https://youtu.be/xjX3NpyCVRA?si=vBoW1UZtBECRMPZR) from the 88 playoffs. go to 48:00.

It’s been in the NHL for around 5 years now. I’m not a huge fan. I’m not sure where it originated.

I played hockey growing up and never did this, quick celebration with the guys on the ice and back to the face off dot, this was 90’s early 2000’s and now my kids are playing it gets freaking annoying after every damn goal !!

I don’t know, but now I can’t remember what players used to do after the celly/group hug before the skate-by became a thing.
