For today's podcast we're going to be talking about pre-game rituals, specifically what songs get played in the locker rooms of our SMJHL teams before a game. Today's team is the Anchorage Armada. We interview rookie Kalevi Karhunen to see what kind of tunes he hears in the locker room..

"Okay Kalevi, what would you say are the top 5 songs you hear in the locker room before a game?"

"Well we got a couple standards that get played over and over again. The first, since we're obviously an Armada, is "I'm on a Boat" by Lonely Island.  I mean its pretty self-explanatory. We're on a boat, like not literally, but you know, the team. 

The second song we get a lot is "Welcome to the Jungle". Why? We're in Alaska man, its cold up here. The jungle is warm and not cold, it helps us get our minds off the endless nights up here. 

On the theme of long endless winter nights, we also rock to "Enter Sadman by Metallica"... you know, EEEEEEENTEEEEER NIiIGHT. Plus it pumps you up, bonus.

And you know we were listening to "We are the Champions by Queen," which is fucking awesome to listen to when you getting pumped up for a game, and the other day one of the old guys made us watch that old movie Highlander, you know with Connor Mcleod and the immortal dudes who cut off each other's heads because 'there can be only one' and shit, and they had that theme song also by Queen,  Princes of the Universe, so we been rocking that song too lately. Yea bunch of old stuff I guess."

"Thank you Kalevi for that insight. That's all for today"
