18,000 Canadian hockey fans sing ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ (school, Pennsylvania, state)

[Wells5]

They all must have operatic voices to be able to do justice to that old drinking song melody!

How many of us know the lyrics after "O, Canada"?

I know the first two words.


That was pretty impressive. If we don't play their anthem here, this would be a good time to start.

It's happened both sides of the border from time to time. It's boorish behaviour.

I know some of them. I was at a Rapids game on July 4 against the Vancouver Whitecaps; the stadium sang both songs.

Actually it was in Edmonton, Alberta. Home ice of Edmonton Oilers.

Watch 18,000 Canadian hockey fans sing

Canadians might not be too happy with the United States these days, what with all that talk of a trade war, but a helpful crowd in Edmonton still belted out a rousing rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Sunday after a microphone died during the playing of the national anthems before an NHL playoff game.

I'm a Canadian and know all the words to Star Spangled Banner. I also know O' Canada in both English and French. I guess, we learned in history and geography a lot more about our neighbours to the south than they learned about us. But, that's okay.. We Canucks love to sing and celebrate all !!
