[2] The song was then adopted by the entire Blackhawks' minor league system, as the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) and Indy Fuel (ECHL) clubs.

[13][14] The Vancouver Canucks, who had lost to the 'Hawks in previous years in the playoffs, used the song after Alexandre Burrows scored in overtime in Game 7 of their 2011 series with Chicago.

[15] Five years later, St. Louis Blues organist Jeremy Boyer played the sad version of the song after his team eliminated Chicago.

[16][17] The success of the Blackhawks has led "Chelsea Dagger" to be adopted as a goal song by the University of North Dakota, as well as the Pensacola Ice Flyers and the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs of the SPHL among others.

[18] The song is also played after every try scored at European Championship home games of the Leinster Rugby club in the RDS Dublin Ireland.

Sky Sports had popularised the use of "Chase the Sun" by Planet Funk as 'the darts song', but when ITV4 picked up the rights to certain tournaments, they opted instead to use "Chelsea Dagger" for their intros and outros.
