With all the other entertainment that went into the game production, the organ sound didn’t fit the soundtrack of Las Vegas. Vegas, the last team to join the league before Seattle, didn’t have an organist in its first year, but tried it in Year 2. Of the 32 NHL teams, only six - Philadelphia, Carolina, Dallas, Arizona, Vegas and Edmonton - don’t have an organist playing during games. It was even part of the soundtrack of the Beijing Olympics during stoppages in play. Organ or keyboard music is synonymous with hockey. … I would think this a great job for any musician.” “I had retired and then I thought just for the heck of it I’ll email them. It’s just the best job I could ever even dreamed that I would have,” Masters said. “I love playing for the people and they seem to be loving it. More than 40 years later, he’s now part of the fraternity of organists around the NHL, a 68-year-old living out a dream, even for someone who has worked as a professional musician all over North America. But anyone who’s seen the movie knows Masters as the organist plunked in the head by a wayward puck and abruptly asked by Newman’s character Reggie Dunlop to never play “Lady of Spain” ever again. His name never appeared in the credits of the iconic 1977 movie starring Paul Newman. Just know he may be the most famous organist to ever appear on the big screen in a sports movie, and now nearly a half-century after he made a lasting impression in “Slap Shot,” Masters is the first organist for the Kraken. That dude would be Masters, and if the name still doesn’t ring a bell, that’s fine. “And I’m like, `What are you talking about? What dude?”’ “I remember (Lamont) looking at me … and he’s like, `The dude from `Slap Shot’ just sent me an email,”’ Greco recalled. The name Rod Masters didn’t immediately resonate with Jonny Greco and Lamont Buford, who are in charge of overseeing entertainment and game production for the expansion franchise, though they would soon make a connection.
