Wayne Gretzky Discovers ‘Pink Pony Club’ and Wants Chappell Roan’s Hit as His Ringtone

Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” has become an anthem for the Edmonton Oilers, and the hit played throughout Rogers Place arena after the Oilers won game one of the Stanley Cup against the Florida Panthers in overtime on Wednesday night (June 4).

NHL icon and former Edmonton Oiler Wayne Gretzky was in the building as part of TNT’s post-game broadcast, and he seemed to take a liking to “Pink Pony Club” after being introduced to the Chappell Roan banger.

“‘Pink Pony,’ is that a band or is that a song?” he innocently asked his cohosts. Retired hockey pro Paul Bissonnette offered Gretzky a quick explainer: “It’s a woman. She sings a song, ‘Pink Pony Club.’ And it’s famous — it’s on the radio.”

Gretzky replied: “I gotta get that on my ringtone.”

Now, it’s unclear how exactly “Pink Pony Club” was adopted by the Oilers, as the team kept the reasoning under wraps when asked about it throughout the season.

Edmonton sits just three wins away from its first Stanley Cup since 1990, so all of Oiler Nation is hoping to hear “Pink Pony Club” a few more times in June to bring the Cup back to Alberta, Canada.

“Pink Pony Club” was originally released in 2020 and landed on Chappell’s 2023 The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. The multi-platinum hit reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sits at No. 12 on this week’s chart.
