The success of the Blackhawks has led "Chelsea Dagger" to be adopted as a goal song by the [[University of North Dakota]] and the [[Pensacola Ice Flyers]] of the SPHL among others. This song is played during [[Professional Darts Corporation]] matches shown on [[ITV4]] and at the [[Hong Kong Sevens]].<ref>{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmKMUKzL2as |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/LmKMUKzL2as |archive-date=2021-12-19 |url-status=live|title=2015 Japan Darts Masters - Peter Wright & Haruki Muramatsu|date=27 June 2015|publisher=|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The song is also played after every try scored at European Championship home games of the [[Leinster Rugby]] club in the RDS Dublin Ireland. It was also a favorite of the now defunct LSUA Rugby Club which made a Championship run in each of its seasons in NSCRO.▼
It's also used by the [[Georgia Swarm]] of the [[National Lacrosse League]] after the team scores a goal at all home games. While the song is played, fans [[Monkey (dance)|hold their arms out in the air and move them up and down]], similar to that of cartoon character [[Johnny Bravo]]. This also occurs at the home games of the [[Brisbane Broncos]] [[rugby league]] team.▼
The song was regularly played during ITV4's coverage of the PDC darts events. 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdc.tv/news/frequently-asked-questions|title = Frequently Asked Questions}}</ref>▼
