The music that echoes from the locker room at the heart of the Videotron Center is varied and numerous, but this will focus on the songs that are played right before a game. Get together, get amped, and get ready to polish the ice with the faces of your opponents.
Let's start off with the classics: someone along the way got tangled up in one of those "visualization" schemes and so the QCC goal song, Bob Bissonnette's La machine à scorer, is always the first song played as the team is getting dressed and whatnot. See the goal. Feel the goal. Visualize... this is probably one of the Solbergs' faults but there has never been too much of a good thing, so they say.
Skrillex - Bangarang. 'Nuff said. Is its presence on the playlist ironic? Yeah. Does it also whip ass? Absolutely.
You can't go wrong with Big Black - Kerosene. Lyrically, best suited for away games especially if they're in a smaller city. A sort of humiliation tactic, if you will. "Never anything to do in this town... Kerosene around, set me on fire."
Sometimes after a rough loss the confidence can be a bit shaken. What better way to restore the ego than the 13 minute version of Gorillaz - Do Ya Thang? If Andre 3000 screaming "I'M THE SHIT" at you approximately 100 times doesn't get you feeling on top then nothing will. Get your head checked ASAP.
Last (and probably least) is Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff. Absolutely choice, and Abdi's personal addition to the team playlist. Channel the spirit of Fred Durst into your hits. Wear your helmet backwards. Live a little. Fuck shit up. And have fun doing it.
You can tell a lot about somebody by the music they listen to, and the Citadelles are no exception. A team that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but are feral and hungry and will bite you in half if you let them.
