  • Kinda funny how a lot of people say this anthem is overdone. If you've never been to the United Center for a Hawks game; every single anthem for every single game is just like this one. Well, there are no fireworks or fighter planes in the UC but you know what I mean.

  • Usually with two American teams there is just the National Anthem. But since the Winter Classic is suck a big event I think it is necessary to have both.

  • @bluemoon0100 They sing the Canadian anthem because 90% of the players down there are Canadians, also to honour the great outdoors where the game was born on the frozen lakes and ponds of Canada, its the roots of hockey, also because loads of people in Canada watch it

  • I hope and pray that the next winter classic or at least some time down the road is at Soldier Field.

  • There is nothing overdone... if it should be overdone people should stop cheering, and start singing along instead...

  • believe it or not it was louder at the parade in June and louder at US Cellular Field a coulple weeks ago

  • nothing overdone about this anthem, this is how it always is in Chicago... there's just A LOT more people here than in the U.C. is all. I wish our anthem had this much energy in Detroit.. even though our singer (Karen Newman) is excellent, the people don't go nuts like this.

  • Thats how they do it. If a Canadian team comes to an American city, they'll sing both anthems (I recall the Bulls did it during a Raptors game). The Star Spangled Banner as you see hear is how it is EVERY night. Just type in Blackhawks National Anthem here & you'll see the "LetsGo" & others arent kidding.

  • 91 allstar game and last home game at old stadium (even though is was Messmorex) still trump this one

  • Cornielsion is excellent. Wayne's voice is not as good after his knife attack.Oh Canada was great. Go Hawks

  • Amazing! Too bad the Hawks lost, but it was still an amazing event.

  • Why did we bring foley back, or tony, stan, or bobby. I hate when people say move forward not back? it doesn't make any sense, no one is asking for wayne to do it full time, i just wanna see jim and wayne both do it for hawks, the roar would be unbelieveable.
