Brandon Duhaime changed his goal song ahead of the Washington Capitals’ game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
As reported by RMNB beat writer Katie Adler, Capital One Arena will be serenaded with the Disney Banger, “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” as performed by Lilo & Stitch, the next time the fourth-line winger scores.
Goal songs are typically authentic representations of players’ musical tastes or just sensational puns, like when Capitals legend Richard Panik used a Panic! At The Disco jam. So why did Dewey, who was born in Florida, go with a Hawaiian anthem in a children’s movie?
Wednesday, Adler asked Duhaime after a sparsely attended optional practice. When asked whether he had lost a bet or been pranked, Duhaime played coy and claimed it was his choice, going with “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” because it was “fun.” Asked if anyone else in the locker room would know more, he responded, “You’ll have to ask around.”
And ask around, we shall.
Duhaime, a notorious prankster, has been known to prank himself, at times, to throw his teammates off the scent of his own chaos-making. He recently got caught up in “Chili Gate,” a prank started by Justin Sourdif, which many blamed Duhaime for.
Duhaime’s previous goal song was “My Dawg” by Lil Baby.
