Former Notre Dame captain Andrew Peeke is enjoying his first full NHL season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. As he walked into Nationwide Arena on Sunday ahead of his team’s game against the Ottawa Senators, a photo was snapped of him. The photo shows him listening to music, so the Blue Jackets’ Twitter account asked everyone to guess what might be blasting in his ears at that moment. While we might never know the answer to that question, Notre Dame’s hockey account took the only guess it could:
đ¶ Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,â°Wake up the echoes cheering her name,â°Send a volley cheer on high,â°Shake down the thunder from the sky.â°What though the odds be great or smallâ°Old Notre Dame will win over all,â°While her loyal sons are marchingâ°Onward to victory.đ” https://t.co/xk08E3jXZ8

Peeke listening to the Notre Dame Victory March ahead of games wouldn’t be unheard of. After all, professional athletes keeping themselves connected to their college days has been documented throughout history. Perhaps most famously, Michael Jordan wore his shorts from North Carolina underneath his uniform throughout his NBA career. Whatever he’s listening to, let’s hope it helps him play well.
Peeke has scored nine points and accumulated a team-high 26 penalty minutes in 38 games this season.
