"Brass Bonanza" (also known as the “Hartford Whalers Victory March”) was adopted by the Hartford Whalers as their theme song during their tenure in the World Hockey Association, and remained so through their years in the National Hockey League. It was originally written by Jack Say.
Production
According to Jeff Jacobs of the Hartford Courant, “Gordie Howe once began humming Brass Bonanza in my ear. He said he loved to hear it as a visiting player for the Houston Aeros, but hearing it every night with the Whalers “began to drive me nuts.”
"Jack Say, an aspiring musician, sold a piece of music to a record library and moved to Austria. Former Whalers official George Ducharme came across the piece, used as a “bridge” on a 1976 Whalers highlights LP. Ducharme liked the beat. The song became a hit. The song is “Brass Bonanza.” “Brass Bonanza” is our mantra. Nobody’s going to Cleveland, Nashville, Atlanta or Portland as long as “Brass Bonanza” lives.
