I think all hockey arenas should have a pipe organ. The pipe organ is what made the national anthems great to listen to. What they got now is garbage. It is just the person singing with no music playing with them. Just the singing voices makes the anthem seem dull and lifeless.

O Canada was an anthem composed by the French Canadian for St-John-the-Baptist day. The English version is not even a translation because O Canada in French celebrate the French Canadian race.

If you do not like it, you can always sing "Maple Leaf Forever" instead of writing foolish remarks revealing your ignorance of basic Canadian history.

@vancanman2 um, i thot i sent it to the guy fr vancouver. in any event, he didnt make up the lyrics. best bet to start with is simply type o canada under wikipedia & it'll give u enuf diff versions of it to make u dizzy. it confuses me and i know both the english &&& (mainstream) french versions of it & i wont go to a blackhawks game w/my friends unless it is vs. a canadian team. we also have to get there at least 1/2 hr b4 the game to ensure breathing room b4 the anthem. drives them nuts.

@emrrbv You sent your message to the wrong person. Still, this 'version' of O Canada was certainly interesting. Where did he find these lyrics (in both languages), or did he make them up himself?

@bowler2383 dear johnny petraglia part 2: please tell me y the united center can kiss your ass?? what is wrong with it?? do u really hate escalators, elevators, great sight lines, state-of-the-art scoreboards, clean washrooms and excellent concession stands?? i mean, what the hell more do u want??? how many times have u been there?? its just a great building. great for concerts,hockey basektball,circus----u name it. i would have gladly swung the wrecking ball that demolished chgo stadium.

@vancanman2 dear roberto luongo: u r from canada. there are at least 5 or 6 versions of it that mix both english & french, just english and several with various combos of french. its the greatest anthem anywhere.  much better than our boring star spangled banner. god bless america is just a notch below o canada.one of the best o canada is done in our united center by jim cornilsen who has a booming voice and has become famous. he once did it in french . ck it out. o canada is the greatest.

@bowler2383 dear bowling ball: r u insane? the u/c is a tremendous bldg. in the old chgo stadium u could die of smoke inhalation between periods in lobby. not to mention shitty washrooms, horrible sight lines, a 1970s scoreboard which had to replace the horse manure 1940s scoreboard & o yes, i forgot to mention the 6 flights of stairs u had to walk up to the top balcony. m.jordan once said that no seat was a bad seat in the stadium. really mike, did u ever sit for 3 hrs with a post in your face?

The old Chicago Stadium held more than 17,000 for hockey and 18,000 for basketball.

What the hell is this? The words are all wrong in both languages.
