We must regretfully announce today the passing of the Great and Patriotic Stompin' Tom Connors. He died this March 6th 2013 with his Family seeing him off. His family have given us a message from Tom that he wanted passed along to all of you upon his death:
"Hello friends, I want all my fans, past, present, or future, to know that without you, there would have not been any Stompin' Tom."
"It was a long hard bumpy road, but this great country kept me inspired with it's beauty, character, and spirit, driving me to keep marching on and devoted to sing about its people and places that make Canada the greatest country in the world."
"I must now pass the torch, to all of you, to help keep the Maple Leaf flying high, and be the Patriot Canada needs now and in the future."
"I humbly thank you all, one last time, for allowing me in your homes, I hope I continue to bring a little bit of cheer into your lives from the work I have done."
Sincerely,
Your Friend always,
Stompin' Tom Connors

I like how there are no sponsor logos on the boards of the rinks back then!
Oh my god... I just now realise how lucky I was. When i was in about grade four or five my school went on a field trip to a different school to see stomping tom and his band perform. They sang this song and pretty much all of his other ones, but i just now realise how little i appreciated him and never thought how lucky I was. Though, im hanging the autograph he gave me in my room. RIP Stompin Tom
He will be missed. Thanks for the music, Stompin' Tom!
I just heard the sad news moments ago.
When I think of things that are Canadian, I think maple syrup, the beaver, hockey, and Stompin' Tom Connors.
He is to Canada what Johnny Cash was to the United States, Roger Daltrey to England, and Rolf Harris to Australia.
Singers come...and singers go. But a few grab the hearts of a nation.
I will always think of him at hockey games when they play the quintessential hockey song..."The Hockey Song".
Rest In Peace...and thank you for the memories.
RIP! greatest song about hockey ever... wont be forgotten!!!!!!!
Stompin' Tom will live forever aslong as we keep this song in our hearts.
R.I.P one of the greatest singers ever! your music will never die!
a sad day for Canada, we lost a true Canadian icon.
i think it would be amazing to see a hockey game from back in the 50's..
It's kind of like losing a really good friend.. :'( this song will never be the same without him. RIP Stompin Tom!
Stompin' Tom Connors- You will never be forgotten in my mind, any Canadians or anyone else who loved the game as much as you and me.
RIP Stompin' Tom, thanks for the tunes and memories of listening to you.
I'll miss you with my heart good buddy ;) see you on the other side ,when I get there. say hi to my mama for me!

Preparing for a classic Hockey Night in Canada, Maple Leafs vs Canadiens after a stupid lockout!!! Greatest hockey song!
R.I. P WE ALL GOING TO MISS TOM IT IS VERY SAD DAY FOR THE PEOPLE IN CANADA
I never got to meet him. However I've been a fan for years.
Family gatherings would not be the same without one of us
singing one of his songs.
When I was in the fourth grade in 2004 The Calgary Flames made it to the Stanley Cup finals. The whole city was alive with pride. On the morning of game 7 our school principal played this song instead of the national anthem. Ever since then I've been in love with this song, and I'm still waiting for my boys to bring the cup home. No matter where life takes me I will always be a proud Canadian and a Calgary Flame
RIP to one of the greatest Canadians
