🧊 The Glass Banger™ – Loud, Proud, and Slightly Sauced

You don’t see the Glass Banger so much as you hear him — a thunderous thump on the plexiglass every time a player so much as blinks near the boards. Clad in a sweat-soaked tee, one hand clutching a lukewarm beer and the other smearing mustard on a hot dog he forgot he bought, he is the emotional engine of Section 104.

"YEAH, LET 'EM KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" — The Glass Banger, always

This isn't just a fan. It's a one-man hype machine. A human foghorn. An unpaid assistant coach with no credentials but unlimited enthusiasm.

The banging isn’t random. It’s strategic (in his mind). He truly believes that if he slaps that glass just right, the fourth line will finally start forechecking with purpose.

Key Identifiers:

  • Elbow-level stance and glass-slapping posture

  • Red Avalanche shirt from the Duchene era

  • Foam finger sticking out of a backpack beer holster

  • Condiments on the pants — not the dog

The players don’t know he’s there. But he’s convinced they can hear him.

This is fandom, distilled. Obnoxious? Yes. Annoying? Also yes. But when the building needs life… guess who’s already banging?
