Why Canadian anthem at Winter Classic?
-
Help! Please educate me (not that I give a crap about hockey, but the Penguins / Capitals winter classic game is on live), and both US and Canadian anthems were played before the start. Why the Canadian anthem, when both teams are from US?

I'd guess it's because the Winter Classic game is supposed to be a showcase game for the league (which has teams in both countries), rather than just a regular season game. Cheers, Drew.

Exactly the reason... I suppose it could have been that close to 60% of the players in the league stem form Canada as well and the league just wanted them to feel at home in the big, bad, U S of A.... :omg:
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
