Ray Castoldi, the Rangers organist is also in Sochi. He'll be the organist at one of the arenas there.

that's weird, out of 30 NHL cities in the US & Canada, not to mention dozens of other countries, the Russians hired two of our guys?

He's been music director for several big sporting events, including the NHL Finals, NBA Finals, MLB All-Star games, NFL Pro Bowls, and several Winter Olympics. He's a well-known commodity in the world of event music. So his selection makes sense here.

I miss the days of Eddie Layton, when the organist was the organist. And the game wasn't drowned out by blaring canned crap.
