4.) Vegas Golden Knights

Yes, the Vegas Golden Knights are fourth in the Pacific Division regarding goal horns. But this is where business picks up, with the Golden Knights having theirs fit their city's culture perfectly. From the slot machine sounds to the imposed chants, it feels good. In fact, it might make the average hockey fan go to a casino to test their luck.

It took a few tries to get into this. However, it's a goal horn that grows on the listener over time, with its various nuances hitting the listener. Then, you realize that the little things make this a compelling horn. The extra aspects, the aforementioned slot machine sounds, the upbeat nature... Everything about it screams "Las Vegas" and Golden Knights fans couldn't have asked for a better horn.

Some will say that it's a bit excessive, which is understandable. After all, regular hockey fans might have a hard time latching onto this. However, it fits Las Vegas perfectly, where excess is never bad. Expect to hear this goal horn more often during Vegas's contention window. With new players like Tomas Hertl and Noah Hanifin entering the fold, fans will get a heavier dosage of this horn in their lives.
