There are several things our team does to get pumped:
- we recite a fun little slogan that corporate made for us
- we yell our actual "get pumped" cheer
- we sing the entirety of We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions in one go
- we watch Miracle twice in a row
- we bring weights to lift when we're on the bench, then yell exclamations as we work out
- we stick tire pumps in our mouths to get even more pumped
- we have a contest to see how long we can yell in one shift before taking a breath
- we slap our sticks on the ice very quickly, re-enacting the final battle of Drumline
- we supply all our players with vuvuzelas (in team colors of course)
- we pretend there is a crowd and make gestures at them and get in arguments
- we break out some ice cream on a table on the ice; who doesn't get excited for ice cream?
