I respect the blackhawks passion and if i would take a trip to chicago and go to a hawks game i would feel the united center rocking and shaking also have chills in my spine during the national anthem Go Flyers
There are few sports traditions greater than hearing both national anthems at a cross-border game. Hawks fans cheering during The Star-Spangled Banner is one of them.
huge red wings fan here thats the coolest thing ever. keep it up chi town. all you need now is a huge american flag going around the rink like at the Canadian games. thats how original six does it!
@BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS I miss Chicago Stadium! So many memories! 1989 St. Louis Norris final, Campbell final against Calgary! I was there. Savard, Secord and Larmer!
@Cap285 Oh u were lucky growin up watchin Denny Savard, Gilmour, Chelios. I grew up watching Kyle Calder and those guys but they weren't that good but i still was a die hard Hawks fan even though they had some very rought seasons.
@BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS I remember those seasons. When they traded Roenick (I am a huge fan of JR). The Zhamnov years. The slump. They turned it around though. The Madhouse on Madison was an experience all it's own. We're all Hawk fans just the same regardless of era and building. Mikita, Hull, Magnuson, etc.
@Cap285 Karpotsev, Bell, Arnason, they were in a serious slump after their 2002 playoff run. Up until about 2008 is when they started to be worth watching (i still watched them and supported them). I cant believe u like JR, ur one of the very Hawk fans who actually liked JR hes good, but he was way too cocky at times.
@BLOCK19PRODUCTIONS I did like JR. Watched him from his rookies season to the trade. I suppose he could be cocky at times. Thought he was great. But, that's why Steve Larmer is my favorite ever. No nonsense, could shoot off the pass second only to Jari Kurri, 80 points a season. My hockey number has been 28 since I was eleven years old. Steve is my hero.
Lmao at all the people who say its disrespectful to cheer during the anthem, that is why all the people who fight for this country say they love it, go hawks!!
Soooooo proud to be a die-hard Hawks and live in this wonderful city!! God, i love goin to the UC and watch my fellow Hawk fans erupt whenever Jim sings the National Anthem. #88 PKANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to go to a Blackhawks game. The atmosphere seems electric. Though I'm a Sabres fan, I would definitely root for Chicago against any team other than Buffalo. The National Anthem at The United Center sends chills down my spine.
@Livelifechill Dude...you can't be serious. I mean don't forget all the times that detroit kicked chicago's ass thanks BIll Wirtz' mismanagement. Draw on that anger. Anyway, not that Rocky is running the team, it's time for a little payback.
@Livelifechill Haha im gonna have to put up with the ignorant "Nuck" fans tmrw at teh United Center cuz they play the Ca-fucks tmrw. IMA BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!
@Livelifechill Same here, I can at least respect Detroit for playing a classy style of hockey built on good defensemen and strong two-way forwards. Their style of play reminds me of the Hawks style. The Canucks are a bunch of classless thugs who play like Matt Cooke and dive like Cindi Crosby.
@btowndawgz2 They only play it in US arenas when the visiting team is a Canadian team. Likewise, it is played in Canadian arenas when a US team visits. In Montreal the dirtbags boo it despite the fact they have more US players than any other NHL team and the fewest Canadian players on their team. Fuck the Habs and their fans.
Do people applaud because it is near impossible for the average person to sing the Star-Spangeled Banner? That's not a knock to the anthem or the US. It's a great anthem, but the notes are so hard to get and I don't think most people can sing it as easily as they can 'O Canada'.
I love hearing this live. I had the pleasure of meeting him and he said that he still gets choked up every time he performs. I think a good indicator of his focus is when he told me he doesnt even remember when he noticed that the flag 'waves' at the end
I love how the Canuck fans sing O'Canada.All they need is some one to get them started.It is so cool and i am a Hawk fan. I think we do it best for American anthem.This is the best. Go Hawks.Hey When are the Canucks going to get a goalie?
wen u hear this in person you have the biggest chill run down your back and goosebumps.... these videos dont even come close to how amazing it is in person!!!!!! one of the best parts about going to the game
I dont think it is disrespectful if you cheer at your own stadium, but when your fans visit other stadiums and cheer during the national anthem when that host city does not, that is VERY DISRESPECTFUL!
@kamloopsblazers1 And you are an idiot who wouldn't know talent if it bit you on your big fat sloppy ass.And what in the hell is a 'kamloopblazers'? Not that rag team from Portland?
I wish Jim Cornelison would sing at all the hockey events in Canada. I must say he did a great rendition of our national anthem and some people really do a crappy job at it.
The Star-Spangled Banner was just amazing and you can really feel the pride in the United Center (with the cheering and whatnot).
@Debussy07 THANK YOU! Thats a compliment to our country.

Gene Honda also P.A. announcer at the Cell for the Sox games and the starting line-ups.
Eddie Olcyzk should've taken Jim Cornelison on the road with him throughout the playoffs after the Black Hawks were done so the fans wouldn't be put to sleep in Vancouver by that old guy that looks like Orville Redenbachers Grandpa, and the other one that looks like Ron Jeremy twitching like he's having drug withdrawals.
@tapwada It's a tradition for the Blackhawks to cheer for the American National Anthem, they've done it forever and will do it forever its awesome and I love it, I don't think its disrespectful at all.

wow, it takes an american to sing the Canadian anthem properly, that was total old school , none of this r&b crap versions. that was tight, great job.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Very disrespectful fans, to be hooting and hollering is wrong, do you see the military acting like fools, no their QUIET and standing at attention respectfully, like everybody should be quiet or sing the anthem, last time I checked the lyrics aren't aaahhhh(Clapping)whooooo, In every other arena in the league they sing the anthem and don't butcher the song, shame on the Chicago fans
@tapwada As Americans we have a bad habit and that's that nobody sings along with the anthem. Staying silent is even worse, its just says "whatever I don't care, get to the game". The Hawks tradition of cheering is what all Americans should do if they don't sing. By cheering your cheering on your country. Jim Cornelison is commonly singing it now at other Chicago events and the fans are cheering. I hope it becomes not just a Hawks tradition but a Chicago then a nationwide tradition.
@southparkfan2717 I agree. I don't understand how any true patriots can call it desrepectful to show pride in your country by cheering. Using silence is away to mourn the dead and our country is not dead no matter how many terrorist attack. Lets show our pride during the national anthem and cheer loud enough that the Taliban can hear us.
I always hit mute when they do the anthems. I always thought it was stupid that they do anthems before games. What's the point? At the WJC/Olympics the winner gets their anthem played that makes sense as sort of a reward for winning. In the NHL though it's just a big waste of time.
Oh no u got me wrong I wasn't talking bout all canadians. Just the Montreal Canadiens fans who boo. Seems like all of them lol. Funny how they cheer Canada years after their failed request to become their own country lol nonetheless not all are bad. Maybe even just for fun. Take care of urself. Go North America! Lol
Even if you don't like the cheers at least they're not showing disrespect to smothers country by booing the other countries national anthem like in Montreal CA. If you consider this disrespect you're fuckin high and accustomed to what's just a norm. As long as there's pride and love i don't see how this is wrong.
@NaturalSin22 What happened in Montreal shouldn't be seen as a disgrace for all of Canada. It was one of the most embarassing moments for us but shouldn't be attributed to all Canadians. And yeah I agree the cheering is fine, it's happiness and pride.
To everyone complaining about how we cheer through the anthem or attempting to make some bs argument that Chicago or Illinois isn't patriotic, you are sorely mistaken. But you know what they say: opinions are like tampons, every pussy has one.
I personally don't think there is anything more patriotic than this. And to everyone bashing Chicago or Illinois, or feel this is disrespectful: opinions are like tampons, every pussy has one. GO HAWKS!!!!
When Jim Corneilson signs the anthem and 23,000 fans cheer on during the anthem at the United Center, there is no doubt Blackhawks fans are the most patriotic fans in the entire United States. Despite I live in Southeast Wisconsin, I am proud to be part of the big legion of Blackhawks fans who live and breathe the tradition of this storied franchise and has a true sense of patriotism .
@mehlhaff5 people from chicago are some of the biggest liberal hippies in the world, and they dont support the troops. I lived there most of my life and Im an Iraq War Vet. I moved out of IL becuase of how much grief I got for serving in the military. Very few of these people are what I would define as "patriotic"
@Westilchester bullshit. I lived in St. Charles. I was asked to leave the high school when a teacher wanted me to talk to a class because he, "didn't want the students to be talked to by a murderer." - exact quote.
@usmcgunner58 ......your right in thinking that that is utter bullshit. it totally is. NEVER have I heard someone say anything even remotely similar to that. I have friends who disapprove of Iraq and Afghanistan, but they wouldn't say a damn thing bad about the troops.
@Westilchester it happened all the time. Most common question I got, "You were in the military? Didn't do well in high school? Couldn't afford college?" When I told them I got accepted to WIU, ISU and UWSP and could've gone to any of them and could easily afford it but instead I joined because of patriotism, they would look at me like I had a dick coming out of my forehead. I got sick of it and moved to the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and I've never been so happy.
@usmcgunner58 You shouldn't categorize everyone from IL or Chicago to be unpatriotic just because the people you came across in that area were disrespectful. Thank you for your service, everyone should be thankful for what the troops do for us.
@rachelx1129 People in southern IL are diehard supporters of the troops, I'll give them that. But I got spit on in Chicago for being an Iraq War Vet. Almost everyone I met who found out I went to Iraq said, "Im sorry", not "Thank you." I left for a reason.
@rachelx1129 it happened more than once. The phrase "murderer" came out plenty of times as well. Again, I left Chicago for a reason and I'm never going back. People there care about their money and thats it.
@rachelx1129 everyone is always so suprised when I talk about this stuff, like its unbelievable. Just look at some of the bumper stickers when you're driving around. I got flipped off all the time for having an Iraq Campaign Veteran Liscense Plate. I was asked to leave my old high school when an old teacher asked me to talk to the students about my experience. The principal asked me to believe because, "I dont want the kids talking to a murderer." Exact quote.
@usmcgunner58 Well I don't live in Chicago, I live in Central IL and everyone here is super patriotic and supportive of the troops. I can't believe that guy had the gall to say that though, wow.
@usmcgunner58 Minor league kids. Should have seen all those liberal, college, Jane Fonda ass lickers from the 60's when the boys come home from Viet Nam. They got treated like scum and nobody gave a shit about all those in the VA hospitals all shot up. Now those same liberal Jane Fonda assholes are running this once great nation into the ground. Oh ya, I live in Chicagoland, born and raised inner city, and this guy does the anthem proud.
my girlfriend is a blackhawks fan, so i might get in trouble for saying this, but ever since i've started dating her and watched blackhawk's games w/ her, i just hate when they clap and cheer during the national anthem. i was raised to show my respect by being quite during our national anthem. i just shake my head when i hear the cheering and clapping...i may be the only one who feels this way, but i just had to get it off my chest.

this is pretty shit, no singing just going yeah fuck yeah, some guy just about singing, how do you put up with this, watch a game of football at the world cup and the roof is blown off with national anthems singing
aren't sparklers indoors dangerous? and he's holding them above 2 peoples heads, he could have lit their hair on fire.......go hawks, they're in trouble this year...they needed to keep dustin some how, he was the one they couldn't replace
I do wish this would happen at more sporting events....or start the tradition of singing our Anthem whenever and wherever it's played. I'm proud of this country, and glad that Chicagoans do this for every Blackhawks game. And continue on!
Every year at the end of the 4th of July fireworks show, in every city I've been in. I've seen the huge ending where they play the National Anthem and shoot off a huge load of fireworks while proud Americans cheer. If it's disrespectful to cheer during the National Anthem, We must be one big disrespectful country.
@SixSalVal To me silence is more of a way to show respect for the dead. No matter how many terrorists attack this country, We are still alive and cheering from the top of our lungs showing the pride we have for our country during the National Anthem.
@marilyn007manson1 There time for silence....When they ask for a moment of silence....Yes do that and it shows respect but since the stadium (now the nation center) been open...They always done that there. That show how much respect is shown there.....over the years people keep doing it.
I think it's only disrespectful to cheer during the anthem if the cheering is too loud to hear the anthem. But the UC has the ability to crank up the volume so everyone can hear it over the fans cheering.
@marilyn007manson1 It's disrespectful to cheer for the greatest country in the world during the greatest anthem in the world? That makes sense... You must be a terrorist.
@Mordancy11 Then the millions of Black Hawks fans divided by the 22,000 at each game must also be terrorist too. I'm betting Sadam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden probably never cheered during Americas National Anthem just like you. That must make them good citizins. You sound like you were raised by George Bush, I guess us evil doers should also stop cheering during the national anthem that they play at the end of fireworks shows every 4th of July too. They cheer in every city across the USA.
@bigjames02 I wasn't searched and hadn't seen anyone else being searched at the United Center 2 years ago when I went. It's probably pretty easy to take sparklers in.
since when does cheering during the anthem make you unpatriotic? watch the anthem during the 1991 all star game... it was broadcast live to the soldiers at war and the cheering was a tribute to them. you know their reaction? they loved it.
The only thing that would make this better, if is they could open up the roof of the united center and have a big ol' stealth bomber or F16/18/22/35s Fly over full afterburner and buzz the game. That would be amazing.
Still one of the best and moving ways to present the national anthem...Gives me goosebumps every time I go watch a game.

Very disrespectful fans, to be hooting and hollering is wrong, do you see the military acting like fools, no their QUIET and standing at attention respectfully, like everybody should be quiet or sing the anthem, last time I checked the lyrics aren't aaahhhh(Clapping)whooooo, In every other arena in the league they sing the anthem and don't butcher the song, shame on the Chicago fans

@tapwada As Americans we have a bad habit and that's that nobody sings along with the anthem. Staying silent is even worse, its just says "whatever I don't care, get to the game". The Hawks tradition of cheering is what all Americans should do if they don't sing. By cheering your cheering on your country. Jim Cornelison is commonly singing it now at other Chicago events and the fans are cheering. I hope it becomes not just a Hawks tradition but a Chicago then a nationwide tradition.

@southparkfan2717 I agree. I don't understand how any true patriots can call it desrepectful to show pride in your country by cheering. Using silence is away to mourn the dead and our country is not dead no matter how many terrorist attack. Lets show our pride during the national anthem and cheer loud enough that the Taliban can hear us.

I always hit mute when they do the anthems. I always thought it was stupid that they do anthems before games. What's the point? At the WJC/Olympics the winner gets their anthem played that makes sense as sort of a reward for winning. In the NHL though it's just a big waste of time.

Oh no u got me wrong I wasn't talking bout all canadians. Just the Montreal Canadiens fans who boo. Seems like all of them lol. Funny how they cheer Canada years after their failed request to become their own country lol nonetheless not all are bad. Maybe even just for fun. Take care of urself. Go North America! Lol

Even if you don't like the cheers at least they're not showing disrespect to smothers country by booing the other countries national anthem like in Montreal CA. If you consider this disrespect you're fuckin high and accustomed to what's just a norm. As long as there's pride and love i don't see how this is wrong.
NaturalSin22 9 months ago
@NaturalSin22 What happened in Montreal shouldn't be seen as a disgrace for all of Canada. It was one of the most embarassing moments for us but shouldn't be attributed to all Canadians. And yeah I agree the cheering is fine, it's happiness and pride.

To everyone complaining about how we cheer through the anthem or attempting to make some bs argument that Chicago or Illinois isn't patriotic, you are sorely mistaken. But you know what they say: opinions are like tampons, every pussy has one.

When Jim Corneilson signs the anthem and 23,000 fans cheer on during the anthem at the United Center, there is no doubt Blackhawks fans are the most patriotic fans in the entire United States. Despite I live in Southeast Wisconsin, I am proud to be part of the big legion of Blackhawks fans who live and breathe the tradition of this storied franchise and has a true sense of patriotism .

@mehlhaff5 people from chicago are some of the biggest liberal hippies in the world, and they dont support the troops. I lived there most of my life and Im an Iraq War Vet. I moved out of IL becuase of how much grief I got for serving in the military. Very few of these people are what I would define as "patriotic"

Westilchester 9 months ago
@Westilchester it happened all the time. Most common question I got, "You were in the military? Didn't do well in high school? Couldn't afford college?" When I told them I got accepted to WIU, ISU and UWSP and could've gone to any of them and could easily afford it but instead I joined because of patriotism, they would look at me like I had a dick coming out of my forehead. I got sick of it and moved to the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and I've never been so happy.
usmcgunner58 9 months ago 2
@usmcgunner58 You shouldn't categorize everyone from IL or Chicago to be unpatriotic just because the people you came across in that area were disrespectful. Thank you for your service, everyone should be thankful for what the troops do for us.

@rachelx1129 People in southern IL are diehard supporters of the troops, I'll give them that. But I got spit on in Chicago for being an Iraq War Vet. Almost everyone I met who found out I went to Iraq said, "Im sorry", not "Thank you." I left for a reason.

I got flipped off all the time for having an Iraq Campaign Veteran Liscense Plate. I was asked to leave my old high school when an old teacher asked me to talk to the students about my experience. The principal asked me to believe because, "I dont want the kids talking to a murderer." Exact quote.

my girlfriend is a blackhawks fan, so i might get in trouble for saying this, but ever since i've started dating her and watched blackhawk's games w/ her, i just hate when they clap and cheer during the national anthem. i was raised to show my respect by being quite during our national anthem. i just shake my head when i hear the cheering and clapping...i may be the only one who feels this way, but i just had to get it off my chest.

Every year at the end of the 4th of July fireworks show, in every city I've been in.

Mordancy11 10 months ago
@Mordancy11 Then the millions of Black Hawks fans divided by the 22,000 at each game must also be terrorist too. I'm betting Sadam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden probably never cheered during Americas National Anthem just like you. That must make them good citizins. You sound like you were raised by George Bush, I guess us evil doers should also stop cheering during the national anthem that they play at the end of fireworks shows every 4th of July too. They cheer in every city across the USA.

The only thing that would make this better, if is they could open up the roof of the united center and have a big ol' stealth bomber or F16/18/22/35s Fly over full afterburner and buzz the game. That would be amazing.
Still one of the best and moving ways to present the national anthem...Gives me goosebumps every time I go watch a game.
