“Oh, Dewey? I’ve never called him Brandon in my life,” Jakob Chychrun said once he finally understood that reporters were asking him about Brandon Duhaime. That might sound surprising because the two teammates have played together all year, and Chychrun doesn’t even know his full name. Yet, that was nothing compared to what the Capitals’ star said next.
Duhaime, who, like Chychrun, is playing his first season with the Washington Capitals, has a special responsibility in the locker room. Over the years, Brandon Duhaime has become known for hyping up the team during the crucial lineup announcement. It’s not just the winger’s energetic announcements, but a bizarre signature move that has even earned the hockey player a nickname.
You may be wondering what the 27-year-old’s signature move is. Well, a clip by the Capitals showed the NHL star literally tearing up and eating the lineup sheet. While it might look shocking to the average fan, that’s not the case with Jakob Chychrun. In fact, the defenseman revealed, “He’s been doing it all year. That’s why we call him Doggy,” in a startling admission.
“He’s like a dog on a bone, man. That’s him,” said the offensive-defenseman. Yet, you may be even more surprised to learn that Dewey has been doing it not just this season but for years. Another clip from January 2023 showed the forward dog the same thing after announcing the starting lineup. The only difference was that he wore the Minnesota Wild’s colors back then.
