Ray Kaunisto is a hockey player for the Kalamazoo Wolves.

He’s also our new hero.

Following a recent ECHL game, Kaunisto went all Super Troopers during an interview, answering questions about the just-completed contest while trying to utter “Meow” as many times as possible in just 40 seconds.

(For those who somehow don’t understand the origin for the Meow Game, go watch Super Troopers online. Trust us. You won’t regret it.)

In the 2001 comedy, the Super Trooper who pulled over a motorist was able to squeeze 10 Meows into his interrogation – but while Kaunisto only managed seven, he had far less of a window in which to do so.

 

For those keeping track at home, Kaunisto averaged one Meow every 5.7 seconds, an impressive rate that beats out the one featured here:

"I thought about doing it a little bit before and then I just figured just let it rip and see what happens," Kaunisto told MLive.com after the game. "I almost chickened out. I almost didn’t do it, but I kind of just went with it."

Amazing.

Remember when this hockey player made this young fan’s day by waving to him? Well… Kaunisto just made our lives.
