NHL players choosing their own goal songs is trending in a sport that's historically emphasized team and downplayed the individual.

The Winnipeg Jets this season are among the latest clubs to let each player pick a song to reverberate through Canada Life Centre after he scores.

"On our scoreboard, when you're watching the replay, a graphic will come up that says, "this is my song", and we'll show the player and it'll show what song he picked," he continued. Sabres defenceman Victor Olofsson was born 16 years after the release of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! ," but the 1979 vintage dance hit is his choice at KeyBank Center.

The Vancouver Canucks were early adopters of personalized goal songs in 2015, but discontinued the practice after a couple of seasons. The NHL has been slower to embrace an in-house entertainment element celebrating individual contributions.
