Recording Prepared in Anticipation...

In the midst of the playoff chaos, Terry Steen, father of renowned wrestler Kevin Owens (aka Kevin Steen), found himself caught off guard as his son's voice roared through the Bell Centre. With the screen proclaiming "Narration: Kevin Owens," many spectators remained unaware of the surprise in store until hearing those familiar words, "At our place."

It was Tony Twiggy, a former Montreal independent wrestler now working for the CH, who mediated this unexpected collaboration. Inspired by Jon Trzcienski, vice-president of marketing and brand communications, the idea was eventually presented to Kevin Owens. Recording the lines with the WWE to ensure optimum sound quality, Owens sent the recording a few weeks prior, unsure if the Canadiens would make the playoffs.

Having grown up in the generation of the 1970s Quebec hockey teams, Terry Steen found himself somewhat detached from the sport when his son immersed himself in wrestling at 13. However, the gift of season tickets from Kevin reignited his passion, leading him back to the Bell Centre with his brother.

The anticipation was electric as fans rushed to fill the seats for the first game of the series, with Kevin Owens caught up in the frenzy like any other spectator. But there was more to this than meets the eye, as the wrestler's voice echoed through the arena. With the country tensed between the ongoing rivalry between Canada and the US, the video struck a chord, uniting the crowd and igniting a sensation that Kevin found remarkably moving.

"A Canadian, in Quebec, it's huge. The series, that's even more special," shared Kevin Owens. "To be asked to do a little part of it, that's awesome." He struggled to watch the games, both prior and subsequent, as his neck injury sidelined him from participating in WrestleMania 41, where he was meant to face off against Randy Orton. Facing a potential recovery period stretching through 2025[1][3], Kevin has utilized voiceover work as a creative outlet during his absence from in-ring action.

With the Canadiens' win in the first game, the crowd's response to the video couldn't be ignored. As the team faced their opponents in the games that followed, the arena resounded with those infamous words, "Washington, you're at our place." Recorded with various city names to allow for flexibility depending on the context[3], the video's impact remains undiminished, amplifying the excitement at each Canadiens' victory. This collaboration between hockey and wrestling legend serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of both sports, particularly in the heart of Quebec[2][4].
