Willy Joosen has been playing the organ at Calgary Flames games for more than 31 years.CALGARY -- He’s never scored a goal in the National Hockey League, but Willy Joosen still knows how to make the crowd at the Saddledome cheer, clap and sing.

Joosen has been the man behind the music since 1988. He remembers the first game he played at the Saddledome on Oct. 17, 1988. Joosen says he’s a Flames fan first and he is just lucky enough to be able to work for the team. It has allowed him to watch all of the team’s greatest moments from the last three decades.

He does that all during play and then, when the whistle goes and the arena announcements finish, Joosen will play whatever tune he feels fits the moment.
