In Connecticut, the legacy of the Whalers continues. They were a team that never got past the second round of the NHL playoffs but regaled crowds with a catchy theme song and played in an arena adjacent to a shopping mall in Hartford.


The Whalers have created their own niche in pop culture. "Brass Bonanza," their longtime theme song, is a staple at Boston Red Sox and University of Connecticut basketball games.
