Jason Rooney will join Chelsea to entertain Blues fans beginning this season. A St. Louis native and a diehard Blues fan, Rooney has had an accomplished career in voiceover work and radio 'DJing'.
His voice has been featured on Saturday Night Live, the NBA All-Star Game, a number of Disney Parks productions and countless TV commercials.
"The opportunity with the Blues came across, I was checking it out and I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is so similar to all the stuff I already did in radio - hosting events and all that kind of stuff." said Rooney. "Of course I loved the Blues, so I thought, 'Wow, this would be a great opportunity.'
"I've always wanted to have something to do with one of my teams professionally... All fans kind of, on some level, believe that this is our team and we're somehow part of this. Somehow I'm involved through cheering them on or going to games, but this for me is one more step," Rooney continues.
A huge fan of Brett Hull growing up, some of Rooney's favorite Blues memories include watching him play with Wayne Gretzky in the 1995-96 season and, of course, the 2019 Stanley Cup run.
Rooney's favorite in-game segments and bits include the viral look-a-likes, and any on-ice games that fans play between periods.
Rooney and Haynes are both excited to bring their own brand of passion, energy and fun to the Enterprise Center environment this season, and can't wait to play a part in some of the best shows in town.
