That was great!
One disconcerting part, thought, was that the players that they showed were not joining in. Both are American teams, so what gives there?

That brought tears to my eyes..

2 things to note. It's hockey, so most are likely Canadian, with a couple of Russians for good measure. Second, they're athletes, and seconds from the start of a game. They are 110% focused - they wouldn't achieve this level in the sport if they weren't.

While they know it's going on, they may not "actually" hear the Anthem. Too much energy and adrenaline.

I do not blame them at all.

Re Not joining in:

Since it’s hockey, maybe those players are Canadian? These days I’m just glad if they stay standing and look respectful!
