Trevor Olfert is the new organist at all Winnipeg Jets home games.

Meet the newest Winnipeg Jet player — organ player, that is.

Say hello to Trevor Olfert, the Jets' new organist.

Song writer, orchestra founder and school music teacher, Olfert joins an august tradition that has linked hockey with organ music in Winnipeg for about a century.

About 25 National Hockey League teams have organists on staff. For Olfert, music and hockey are twin passions.

"As a kid I remember going to the Jets games and wanting to stay right till the end to hear the organ player," Olfert stated online on the Jets website.
