The GREATEST singer of anthems from all countries there ever was!! After his O Canada before the games at the Forum,the crowds were electrified,and the opponents on their heels before the puck was even dropped. A true legend.

We Bruins fans knew we were in for a tough night after hearing Mr. Doucet sing The Canadien National Anthem. There is still no one to fill his big shoes in Montreal. R.I.P..

@hockeybooks My bad. I thought this was Team Canada with pros, not amatuers. I stand corrected.

@hockeybooks Sorry Mcrimmon(RIP) wasn't a rookie till around 79-80.

@parkman35 correction...this was played on 12/25/77 as part of the '78 WJC....

A few things to clarify here..this is the 1978 WJC game between Canada and the old Czechoslovakian team which was in fact played on Christmas day in '78 at the Montreal Forum. Canada won 9-3. Canada would lose to Sweeden in the semi-final 6-5. The old USSR beat the Swedes 5-2 for the gold. There were some darned good players on that Canadian team.. Gretzky, Gartner, Hartsburg, Vaive, Bobby Smith, and as a poster pointed out Marsh, and McCrimmon

I think Gretzky played in this one!

RogeR not RogeT
Doucet actually released a vinyl LP of national anthems. Canada, US, USSR, France, Germany plus others were on the recording. Roger took pride in singing anthems. There is an National Film Board clip of Doucet preparing to sing the anthem in the Montreal Forum.
