Southern Ontario boogie rockers Monster Truck did a good thing this year.

The heshers decided to sponsor a peewee house league girls’ hockey team.

The strangeness (and, oddly, coolness) of this whole scenario was not lost on me.

So I interviewed band guitarist Jeremy Wilderman about it for Samaritan Mag.

To read the full interview about why the band decided to do this click here.

As mostly non-Christmas music people around here, it takes something like this to break through our traditional anti-holiday music wall.

Sarah ended up writing about the song for Fightland.
