In 1996, Canadian pop-punk band [[Chixdiggit]] released their self-titled album on [[SubPop]], and included the song "I Feel Like Gerry Cheevers (Stitchmarks On My Heart)." The lyrics include references to Cheevers's undefeated streak, the stitch marks drawn for every shot that hit his cheek, and his number 30 jersey. The chorus includes the lyrics "he wore a mask just like my heart, it had stitch marks on every part."{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}
