The Ottawa Senators sent out a social media request for music tonight, but it wasn’t aimed at their DJ Alex Marchand. It was their first-year organist Eric Sauve who took the brunt of requests during the pre-game before tonight’s game against Boston. It’s not the first time this season the Senators have done this, which means the fans enjoy it.
Got a song you want to hear? From 6-6:45 our in-arena organist Eric is taking requests. Use the #SensSong and if he knows it, he’ll play it!

This is definitely something that helps bring fans closer to the experience. The Washington Capitals have a song poll at every home game that fans choose from three songs that the DJ will play later in the game. Last year it was sponsored by a dueling piano bar where piano players take requests from the audience and play their songs. It takes a lot of talent to be able to do something like this as you have to have a strong musical knowledge of songs from a variety of genres and Sauve is showing that in Ottawa.
Marchand even posted this pic from two weeks ago, seems like it’s working for the Sens.

Taking a look at some of the responses from the Senators fans can give you an idea of what fans in Canada’s capital city want to hear. It looked like Sauve had a good selection of music to go off of tonight.
Sauve is in his first year with the Senators and is listed as the Hammond B3 organ and piano player for the band Offenbach.
