VIRAL VIDEO: 18,000 Canadian Hockey Fans Sing American National Anthem When Performer’s Mic Fails

USA Today reports:

It’s always a cool pregame scene when a crowd joins together to sing The Star-Spangled Banner. Those crowds, though, are almost exclusively in the U.S. Almost.

Before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Ducks and Oilers in Edmonton, apparent microphone issues left the Oilers fans on the hook to help with the U.S. anthem. Well, it was not a problem.

The 18,000 Canadian fans put together an excellent rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner for their guests from Anaheim. They did so unassisted. Simply outstanding.

An incredible moment
When the mic doesn’t work, the crowd takes over & belts out The Star-Spangled Banner…
…In Edmonton
