Best Answer

The hockey goal horn dates back into the 1980's. the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL were the first hockey team to use a goal horn. today, almost every hockey team that exists use some sort of "horn". some are recorded "digital" horns and some are legit train horns, boat horns, and fog horns. they are commonly used after a hockey team scores a goal, following a song.

hockey teams usually use just simple train horns that you can get off of eBay for 100$-200$. other teams use boat horns, fog horns, and barge horns. boat horns are expensive and usually hard to find. it depends what the teams budget is.

For excitement. No other real reason. Also to make fans aware puck went in net. But it creates excitement. Officially the red light goes on behind net turned on by goal judge. and referee.

Goal horns are usually hooked up to a air compressor filled with nitrogen, or compressed air. then a person manually (or sometimes the horn goes off automatically) pushes a button and the horn sounds. but if the hockey team uses a recorded horn they just play it over the speakers in the arena. goal horns are usually located on top or on the side of the scoreboard (sometimes below).
