The Vancouver Canucks told fans about their new seats yesterday, but they didn’t say anything about a new horn.
But when the first period came to an end in their first preseason game against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night, something sounded different at Rogers Arena.

In a hockey-mad market like Vancouver, you better believe people noticed.

Some fans had strong opinions about it. Who knew the intermission horn was so beloved?
That horn is FUCKING AWFUL #Canucks

No, your ears weren’t deceiving you. That was a different-sounding horn.
So what gives?
Intrepid reporter Harman Dayal of The Athletic got to the bottom of it.
A temporary horn was used on Tuesday, says Dayal, and things will go back to sounding normal again “eventually.”
I’m told this intermission horn is only a temporary thing, the normal one will be back eventuallyhttps://t.co/M0bZOZBI3y

Thank goodness, because we never knew how much we loved that horn.
