Kraken Give Fans Taste of Team Culture With Brandon Montour Bobblehead

When asked to rate Seattle Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour music skills on a scale of 1-10, budding young NHL star Berkly Catton gave him a 9.1.

Montour, who is 31, is one of the more tenured players on the Kraken roster. The blueliner sits with 312 points in his league career so far. This is across 90 goals and a whopping 222 assists across 634 games. Aside from his responsibilities on the ice, since being signed as a free agent by Seattle in July of 2024, Montour has also been given a key responsibility in the locker room: the team DJ.

Montour is the man on the aux (or bluetooth) throughout the Kraken's state of the art locker room. In celebration of this, the Kraken will be giving out a Montour Bobblehead, featuring the veteran as a DJ at a booth, to the first 10,000 fans in attendance at Climate Pledge Arena against the Washington Capitals on Jan. 27.

“I enjoy music all variety music. I try to give the guys good music before and after [games and practices]. We have a handful of guys that also enjoy music as well,” Montour said after a recent practice at Kraken Community Iceplex. “So it's easy but it's also hard because you got a range of people as well, younger kids, Europeans. People who like different stuff. You’ve got to know the room in a sense.”

When discussing Montour's music taste, Catton commended his teammate for the sheer variety of songs he plays.

"Honestly, I have lots of the music he's been playing. I ask him about lots of music he's been playing. I ask him, and I add it to my playlist, if I'm being completely honest with you. So he's got really good taste, and I think he's got pretty good like, variety. It's not just like a one trick pony, he can play kind of all genres,' Catton said on Montour's DJ skills.

"I think there's definitely some music that everyone likes, especially before games. Some people like country, some people like rap," he continued. "There's so many different genres. But yeah, he does a good job."

Montour, who strictly uses Spotify, already has 19 points on the year (six goals, 13 assists). His bobblehead features details including to his tattoos and a Kraken themed DJ booth.

“I know a lot of people probably want it, Montour added on his bobblehead. “I’ll probably get one for my kids maybe.”

This game between the Kraken and Washington will also serve as the penultimate game of Seattle's six-game homestand before they wrap it up against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Jan. 29.
