The Minnesota Vikings are set to host the New York Giants in a Christmas Eve showdown on Saturday. Since the Vikings are at home, they’ll continue a tradition of sounding the Gjallarhorn, something that they’ve started since the opening of US Bank Stadium in 2016.
This Saturday, Minnesota Wild star left wing Kirill Kaprizov will get the honor of sounding the horn. Kaprizov is the first Wild player since center Erik Haula to sound the Gjallarhorn.
Other notable people that have sounded the Gjallarhorn this season:
Sylvia Fowles – Former Minnesota Lynx
Cris Carter- Former Vikings Wide Receiver
Lonnie Warwick – Former Vikings Linebacker
Charlie Huizinga – Child battling acute Leukemia
Jared Allen– Former Vikings Defensive End
Paul Nakasone- United Stated Four-Star General
Sunisa Lee- Women’s Gymnastic Olympic Champion
Jairus Wright- Former Vikings Wide Receiver
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov will sound the Gjallarhorn before Saturday's #Vikings game vs. the Giants.
