Strangely enough, the term "hockey horn" seems pretty unknown for this 
instrument. Google finds a lot more references for the term apparently 
referring to a device installed in the arena and sounded when a goal is 
scored.

One?

Lucky bastards. In the South African soccer arenas, "one" appears to be 
the average number /per person/ (with the arenas having about twice or

(And yes, they _are_ pretty loud in the hands of someone who knows how 
to play them properly.)
