The Czech goal anthem, played 12 times during the men's Olympic tournament in Milan, features the remade song "Hoja hou" from the musical comedy "Noc na Karlštejně". This tune is well-known among Czech fans for its association with the national team, having been popularized during the gold medal win in Prague two years ago. However, despite its familiarity in Czechia, it has not garnered much attention or appreciation internationally.

The anthem's introduction to Czech hockey can be traced back to 2019, when former team captain Jakub Voráček advocated for a change, moving away from the previously used catchy song by Maxim Turbulenc. The latter was associated with Czech victories at the world championship in 2015 and has held a place in the hearts of the fans. The decision to switch to the Walda Gang rendition for the Olympics came amid hopes for renewed spirit and excitement surrounding the team.

However, reactions from independent observers have been lukewarm at best, with the new anthem being described as lacking that special something needed to resonate beyond Czech borders. Critiques have emerged likening its composition to something that could have been generated by an AI like ChatGPT, suggesting a lack of originality or the exciting flair that might be expected from a national sports anthem, especially in a competitive international environment.
