Ministry's Al Jourgensen may be credited with founding the industrial metal music scene, but for those really in the know, there is no bigger fan when it comes to hockey, and in particular, his hometown team, the Chicago Blackhawks. In fact, Jourgensen loves the Blackhawks so much, last year he gifted the team with a new theme song, "Keys to the City."

With the Blackhawks in the NHL Playoffs, Jourgensen has been applying his wit and his encyclopedic knowledge of the sport, the players and the politics to his own talk radio show, "Uncle Al's Puck Talk," heard on WXRK-FM's (104.9) Stone & Double T's show every Wednesday at 5:00PM Eastern and streamed at http://www.wxrx.com.
