Meet Dancing Kevin, the crowd-pleasing, belly-shaking boogie-meister of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
During lulls in the action, Kevin Schroeder rips his jersey off to reveal writing on his massive torso, pours beer on his face and dances with the Labatt Blue bear mascot. His Jumbotron routine during a game against the Rangers this week got a lot of attention — and wouldn’t you know, Dancing Kevin says he gets nervous.
“First off, I’m totally terrified,” Schroeder told SB Nation. “Absolutely and totally terrified. I get up, I start swaying back and forth, and then I black out and just start flailing around. I don’t really see anything, everything’s blurry. I must hear the song, I guess, because I dance to it. But I don’t comprehend it.”
Also, this: “I used to do a lot of nipple-rubbing, which I was told not to do anymore. Which, I completely understand. I think they’re totally right. But I have to make a conscious effort not to do that. That’s about the only thing I’m thinking about.”
