===Traditions=== [[Arlette Roxburgh]] has been the team's primary national anthem singer at home games since 1996 and is a favorite among Devils fans. Pete Cannarozzi has been the team's organist since 2001. His organ playing has been instrumental in bridging the Devils' tradition from the [[Meadowlands Arena|Meadowlands]] to [[Prudential Center]]. In addition to playing during breaks in play and at the end of a period, he also provides Arlette or another local performer with accompanying music during the national anthem.<ref>{{cite web |last=Molak |first=Andre |date=January 7, 2015 |title=One Devil of an organist and hockey fan |url=https://www.nj.com/devils/2015/01/one_devil_of_an_organist_and_hockey_fan.html |access-date=July 11, 2023 |website=[[NJ.com]] |publisher=[[Advance Publications]]}}</ref> Some of Prudential Center's most vociferous fans can be found in Sections 233 and 122, home to groups of Devils fans whom self-identify as the Crazies and the Diablos, respectively. The 233 Crazies were originally created in 1993 as the 228 Crazies at the Meadowlands. They are known for their custom, triple-digit Devils jerseys reflecting their section number with "CRAZIES" on the nameplate, and are the source of many chants and generally enthusiastic behavior. A handful of 233 Crazies typically attend every Devils home game and some road games as well.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fan Clubs |url=https://devils.ice.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=92511 |access-date=July 11, 2023 |website= |publisher=New Jersey Devils}}</ref> The Diablos of Section 122 were originally conceived in part by the Devils' management in 2011 by extending a special season ticket offer to and actively seeking input from fans seeking to participate in a European-style [[Supporters' groups|supporters' section]] similar to those popular in [[Major League Soccer]],<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/2011/11/9/2550136/the-devils-supporter-section-diablos-122-november-report | title=The Devils Supporter Section: Diablos 122 - November Report | date=November 9, 2011}}</ref> ultimately in an effort to liven-up in the in-arena atmosphere following a poor campaign on the ice. While the Diablos have ultimately ceased to be supported directly by the organization and the following ownership group has focused on different methods of enhancing the fan experience, Section 122 and its general vicinity continues to be a source of more raucous behavior and general hostility towards opposing teams. Mark Baumann, simply known to fans by his last name, Baumann, is a long-time season ticket holder familiar to many Devils fans for starting the D-E-V-I-L-S chant, dating back to 1995. He commonly wears a white Devils jersey with his name and the number 00.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/pages/devils-fan-guide-chants | title=Devils Fan Guide: Chants | date=January 24, 2010}}</ref>
