""This locker room is fun to come in because you don't know what you're walking into each day," Duhaime said. "It could be guys are just eating breakfast and hanging out or guys could be in the locker room tying your skates in a knot or, you really don't know what you're going to get walking in here, it's a pretty reckless group.""
""I actually don't know when it started, it might've been my first year pro maybe," Duhaime tried to recall. "I always ate the card when it was a big game, I just got excited one time and ate the thing, I don't know.""
"Duhaime was voted by his teammates to be the best chirper in the locker room, a title he said "wasn't quite expecting" but conceded was "pretty accurate.""
Brandon Duhaime enjoyed on-ice success with a career-high 21 points in 82 games during the 2024-25 season. Duhaime assimilated into the Capitals through chirping, pranking, and dog-like tendencies that amplified a lively, unpredictable locker-room atmosphere. The locker room features constant surprises, from teammates eating breakfast together to practical jokes like tying skates in knots. Duhaime developed a ritual of eating the lineup card before big games, a quirk that coincided with the team starting the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs with two consecutive victories. Teammates voted Duhaime the locker room's best chirper, a label he accepted.
