"Fly Falcons Fly" tells the story of the Winnipeg Falcons, a team comprised mostly of the sons of Icelandic immigrants to Canada.

The song's lyrics say:
"Fly Falcons fly, hold your heads up high, fame and gold are not the reasons why, a lesson learned is good as gold, delivered by the brave and bold, showing we are better side by side, together we are better side by side."
The song is a powerful and moving tribute to their remarkable achievement. Don't miss this inspiring and uplifting saga of Canada's first Olympic gold hockey team. The song will also be enjoyed in Iceland, where their national bird is the falcon, adopted by the Winnipeg Falcons hockey team.
