A Vancouver musician's tribute to the Canucks in his new music video has tied into the playoff run and sparked a pre-game performance at Rogers Arena.
Adam Kushner, who performs under the name Noble Son, is on a wild ride after his hockey-themed single 'Slapshot!' caught the attention of the Vancouver Canucks . The long-time fan leaned into the team's aesthetics for his music video, and now has a chance to play at a playoff game.
“I just had this idea of being a little before you have money in cars or clouds or any of that kind of stuff, that all we could do to impress someone we had a crush on was be like, look how high I can jump, or look at, look how far I can throw this ball, look at my slap shot,” he told Global News.
“I was half expecting it to be in one of those moments where they were drop the puck and then it’s like, take a look at another one and they blow the whistle because they’re like, you know, like they need to retake the face off or something. Kushner, who was born in Fort St. John and has been living Vancouver for a decade working as an actor and a musician, said he’s hoping the ride doesn’t stop here.
