The full sequence for the last-minute bit is:
At 1:10, the students chant, "Hey Mr. Announcer, how much time is left in
the period?"
At 1:00, the announcer booms out, "One minute remaining in the period."
Followed by the students responding, "Thank you!"
I first heard this at home at BU, but I've heard this a lot on the road.
And then there's the "Halftime!" chant with 10:00 to go in the second
period.

Subject: Sieve chant
I started going to Notre Dame hockey games in '71. They were using the
chant then, but only when the goalie allowed several goals. When I went to
the UNH game last weekend, they used it after every goal. Also, each time
the announcers said that there was one minute left in the period, the crowd
all said, "Thank you!."
What was really fun was between periods watching the human bowling game
using a bungee cord. That was a hoot.
