Titanic Celine Dion megahit becomes part of winning tradition for Winnipeg Jets
WINNIPEG — It was a song request Mathieu Perreault had no problem accommodating in the Winnipeg Jets’ locker-room.
The Drummondville, Que., native controls the room’s music and recalled someone asked him to put on Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” a few days after the team saw her perform in Las Vegas last month.
Perreault clicked on the mega-hit following a Nov. 11 victory over the Arizona Coyotes and a new “win” song was soon added to the NHL club’s celebration repertoire.
“I’m a big-time fan and my wife is a huge fan as well,” Perreault said of Dion prior to Winnipeg’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
